Hello XXXXXXX

Thanks for consulting Healthcaremagic.
This is Dr. Priyanka tiwari answering your query.

I have read your query and gone through the image you have attached. As far as i have observed it seems like inflammed papilla of tongue.
For this i will suggest you to maintain good oral hygiene and take vitamin B complex supplement by consulting with local doctor. For pain you can apply ointment containing choline salicylate and lignocaine gel twice daily.

Hope this will help you.
If you have further query i will be happy to help.

Thanks.
