Hello Dear
Dont worry, I am here to provide my best advice to you. There are few things I m advising you
• Avoid hot food and beverages for few days
• For blisters to subside you can use topical gels(commonly chlorhexidine and metronidazole combination or only chlorhexidine). Use it thrice daily for 4-5 days and also rinse your mouth with chlorhexidine mouthwash twice daily(preferebly in morning and in night before going to bed) for 15 days.Do not eat or drink anything for 30 minutes aftet using mouthwash or after applying gel. Symptoms should start reducing within 2 days.
Since your palate is burnt it will be difficult for you to eat, so you can aply benzocaine gel (easily available in medical store) over the affected area of the palate 5 minutes before having your meal so that you can have your meal without any pain and difficulty.
• And take 1 multivitamin capsule daily for 1 week to accelerate healing process.
Hope this will help you.
Thank You . Take Care
