It can take as long as a few hours, depending on the size of the area burned. The best thing to do is to take an oral pain med (aspirin, Tylenol, etc.), and keep the burned area in cold water. The cold will help the pain, but do not put ice directly on it; the ice can cause further injury. If the pain subsides while in the cold water, and returns when removing the cold water, simply keep putting the burned area back in the cold water until the pain eased up. If the area is not one that you can easily immerse in cold water (as you could a hand or foot), you can use cold compresses. Have a bowl of ice water with several cloths in it, and as the cloth on the burn warms, replace it with one from the bowl of ice water, and put the used cloth in the ice water. But again, do not place ice directly on the burn. And do not put any type of oily or greasy substance on the burn (unless it's a cream or ointment made specifically for burns) since it can actually hold the heat in, and cause the pain to last longer.
