I burnt my mouth on food earlier in the night and immediately rinsed my mouth with cold water however around 2 hours later, I have a blister in the burnt area. The blister is quite large in size and feels full with liquid. I keep knocking it accidentally with my tongue etc and worried that it may burst. If it does burst, what shall I do?
