Hi,

As per your complain it seems that phenyl has caused chemical burning and inflammation of her tongue and throat and it is leading to burning sensation of tongue and itching in throat. As the time for contact with the chemical seems to be short therefore there is a chance that there might not be severe burning of mucosa and ulceration.

I would suggest that she can start doing gargles with numbing mouthwash containing Lignocaine. She can take anti inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen. Do cool water rinses and suck ice. Take a soft and bland diet. In case if still there is no improvement consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated.

Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora
