Understanding your concern. As per your query you have scorched tongue , tender lips , cough and acidity feeling . Well the symptoms you mention in query are pointing towards a condition known as acidic reflux . In this condition the acidic content of stomach come upwards due to dysfunction of upper sphincter of esophagus .

Consult gastroenterologist for proper examination . Doctor may order certain test to find out exact cause and rule out condition like herpetic stomatitis and sore throat .
