Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand..

As per your complain white patches over the tongue along with inflammation seems to be due to fungal infection and the condition is known as Oral Thrush or Oral Candidiasis caused by Candida Albicans Fungus..
I would suggest you to consult an Oral Physician and get evaluaed and for thrush you will be advised to take anti-fungal medicines like Nystatin mouthwash, clotrimazole lozenges and taking ample of probiotics like Yoghurt and garlic..
For sore and inflamed tongue take anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen, gargle with a numbing mouthwash containing Lignocaine, avoid spicy food, suck ice and maintain a good oral hygiene..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
