What Causes Burning On Roof Of Mouth After Having Ice Cream?

I had a bowl of ice cream a few days ago and afterwards the roof of my mouth felt like it was on fire. It still hurts whenever anything touches it. This has happened on more than one occasion and I m wondering why this is happening and if there s anything I can do to make the pain go away?

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The burning sensation over the roof of the mouth is because of the fross bite injury secondary to the consumption of ice cream. On consumption of cold items like ice cream, there will be a reduced blood supply to that area, it can result in numbness, burning and even severe pain. Nothing to be panic, it is reversible phenomenon. For the burning sensation you can take topical anesthetic like lignocaine and analgesic like choline salicylate.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
