Hi,
It could be cheilitis that is inflammation of tongue. You can take Paracetamol for pain and Multivitamin B complex for 7 - 10 days. Meanwhile avoid spicy foods and drink more water. If no improvement, then a biopsy can be taken for histopathological examination.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
