A lot of times, when I have some super nice food in front of me, I eat rather fast, without waiting for it to cool down, thus burning my tongue.
How can I heal this kind of burn?

To be clear, are you looking for an actual cure, or just something to soothe the pain? – GimmeTehRepz Dec 10 '14 at 22:01

What can help the pain to disappear? Something cooling. So breathe through the mouth, eat something cold, e.g. youghurt. Or drink some cold water. Or Coca Cola :)
Also, as wikihow.com states, you can try:
- Sucking an ice cube
- Sprinkling powder sugar on your tongue.
- Eating a spoon of honey
- Opening a 1,000 IU Vitamin E capsule and spreading the oil on the burnt part of your tongue.
- Putting a little Aloe Vera gel (directly from the plant) on the burnt part of your tongue.

Be wary of sucking icecubes though. I know I get strong temptations to chew the ice, but this damages your teeth (source: my dentist said this) – Justin Dec 14 '14 at 00:55
