If the bite is not too deep should heal naturally within 2-3 days.you can supplement healing by taking oral vitamin c and b complex supplements.If it burns to eat or drink you can apply a locally available mouth ulcer gel which will soothe and numb the area 15 minutes prior to eating.
Next Steps
Avoid hot foods & use an ice pack to reduce the primary swelling
