Hi
Welcome to healthcare Magic and thanks for putting up the query
Please tell me did you sleep while keeping something in the mouth like a toffee or something else?
Any history of tongue bite?
Any difficulty in tongue movement or protrusion?

Please send me the picture of your tongue so that i can suggest you better.
