My mouth is completely on fire. Drinking water is making it worse. What helps.

Stop drinking water immediately as it simply spreads the chili oils further around your mouth. The absolute fastest local cure is to instantly eat a spoonful of plain white sugar or chew on a piece of sweet jaggery if available.

Dairy also binds to the capsaicin perfectly. Order a glass of fresh cow milk or highly preferably ask for some fresh buffalo curd. The thick creamy curd instantly coats your tongue and neutralizes the brutal burning sensation.
