Question: I was eating something really really hot tonight and it gave me a blister on the roof of my mouth. Will the fluid that comes out of it once it has pop bother me? Also is there a way that i can make it go away without it popping?

When you wake up in the morning it will be gone, there's nothing to worry about. I usually do it when I eat pizza.
I have a program to help that ...........
So here's what to do if you singe your mouth.
Ice it. "Put an ice cube in your mouth immediately to neutralize some of the tissue reaction," suggests Fred Magaziner, D.D.S., a spokesdentist for the Academy of General Dentistry and host of "Open Wide--A Look at Dentistry," a Baltimore TV talk show about dental care. "Besides lessening some of the pain, it will reduce the chance of any additional swelling and irritation. That's why it's also a good idea to never bite into pizza without a cold drink handy."
Gargle with salt water. I recommend frequent saltwater rinses--every hour or so if you can manage," says Bernard Dishler, D.D.S., a dentist in Elkins Park, Pennsylvania. "Make your own rinse of 1/2 teaspoon of salt mixed with eight ounces of warm water to promote the healing process."
When to See the Doctor
Do nothing and pizza burn will heal on its own in a week to ten days. But if you have an ache or pain on the roof of your mouth that doesn't go away, see your dentist. It could be a problem that's unrelated to hot food.
"The lesion caused by pizza burn can mimic the early stages of cancer of the mouth," says Allen R. Crawford, Jr., D.M.D., a dentist in Macungie, Pennsylvania. A dentist who is trying to tell the difference will probably ask you how long you've had the pain, according to Dr. Crawford. "Pizza burn usually doesn't last beyond ten days and rarely lasts past two weeks."
Avoid "sharp" foods. That means sharp in taste and in edges. "Spicy foods, particularly Italian, will increase the pain from an existing pizza burn and may trigger infection," says Allen R. Crawford, Jr., D.M.D., a dentist in Macungie, Pennsylvania. "You'll also want to avoid potato chips and other foods with sharp edges, which will aggravate the lesion."
Head for the drugstore. "A product called Orabase, which is available over the counter, is a pectin ointment that sticks to wet tissue to protect the lesion from the heat you eat--particulary spicy foods," says Dr. Magaziner. Apply Orabase directly on the bum to protect as well as heal.
Drink plenty of milk. "Milk provides a mild coating that protects the lesion slightly," adds Dr. Crawford.
