I burn in tandem with a flare up in my feet, the best pain reliever for my feet is cold water so I held cold water in my mouth too. Didn't completely take the pain away, but it helps for a bit. It hurts more after eating so I brush my teeth right away. Good luck with this, it really hurts and its hard to distract yourself from mouth pain.
