Thanks for using Health Care Magic.

Read your query.

Sore patches in the tongue could be due to enlarged circumvallate papillae usually occurs due to few factors including hot and spicy food, gastro oesophageal reflux and some infection, excessive smoking and canker sores. It can occur sometimes due to nutritional deficiency ,anemia or stress.

You should not worry as it is a not a condition which is dangerous.

Maintain a good oral hygiene , reduce hot and spicy food. If you smoke excessively reduce smoking.

Use saline water gargling.

If still worried consult a oral surgeon and have it checked.

Hope this was helpful.

Thanks and regards.
