EDIT: It probably isn't relieving the pain as well as the ice dear, but what you asked it how to make it feel better by tomorrow. If you keep using ice, tomorrow it will be just as bad if not worse. If you suck it up and suffer through, keep applying cool water, not cold, it will heal properly and much quicker. You don't have to like it, it is still the truth. No website will tell you differently, so take some Advil and try and get a decent nights sleep.
Take the ice off now. Ice is not the way to treat a burn, not ever. Ice can cause further damage to the skin.
You probably have a first-degree burn, but just incase it's a second-degree burn, I'll include directions for that as well.
A first-degree burn should be soaked in cool water then treated with aloe vera cream or something similar. You could protect it with gauze bandage if you need too, any first aid kit will have some in it.
So, first-degree burns turn white when you press on the skin, if yours doesn't turn white, its probably second degree.
So, if you have a second-degree burn soak the burn in cool water for a whole 15 minutes. Then put a cool cloth on it for a while (keep doing this each day, it will help) and don't put gauze on it because it will stick, leave it open for a while and if you do put something over it, make sure it's a non-stick dressing.
First-degree burns usually heal in 3 to 6 days.
Second-degree burns usually heal in 2 to 3 weeks.
Either way, just wear gloves tomorrow if you can. It will still hurt and you can take Advil or some such to help dull the pain but a cool cloth on the burns for a minute or two will help when it gets really bad.
