So how long did it take ya'll for the wounds to heal ? I burnt my tongue two days ago eating mac and cheese out of the pot that i made it in, and like an id**t I do not know why i didn't spit it out in reaction to the hotness of the noodles. So now i have these odd looking burns on my tongue that look quite abnormal. Not in pain at all, will admit though feels like my tongue is numb sometimes. Has anyone had a burn this bad or worse and wouldn't mind giving me some advice !?

also refrain from eating any salty,spicy or sour foods as these will iritate ur tongue.

around 80% of the damage from any burn is done AFTER the contact with the hot substance/item. So this advice applies to all burns, not just tongue ones.
What happens is that when your body realised it is burnt, it over reacts. all the cells around the burn "commit suicide" in a strange way. What you need to prevent is them doing that so that the damage is not too bad, and you can do this by keeping them cold so they're too cold to "commit suicide". After any burn, try and keep the area cold (ice preferably, but cool water is better than nothing for as long as 10 minutes (10 minutes is best but any time at all will help). So S U C K on an ice cube, or put it on the burn, or put it under cool running water.
You will find for instance that burns on your fingers will not get blisters after such treatment. Rubbing butter on it, sugar, all the sort of stuff my mum used to tell me, does not appear to have any useful scientific explanation.
If you don't do this in the first 10 minutes after the burn, it will have limited to no effect. Ideally immediately.
Good luck
