Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain peeling of the tongue mucosa over the sides close to the back can occur due to causes like iron deficiency, acid reflux, dry mouth,rubbing of the side of the tongue to the teeth, excess intake of sour candies, oral inflammation or stomatitis etc..

You should consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like oral swab culture and blood tests can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly..

-As of now you can start taking a multivitamin tablet daily..

-Drink plenty of water..

-Do warm saline gargles...

-Avoid excess intake of sour candies and spicy food..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
