hello
it looks like swollen gland on tongue due to throat infection. You should take a course of an antibiotic. preffrably by meeting a doctor. I usually give dose of amoxicillin with clavulanic acid three time a a day 625 mg, for three to five days. Do warm saline garages five times a day. try to eat semi solid or liquid food, also avoid oily and spicy food for some time. You should be ok by three to four days and these swellings should subside on their own with meds.
