Brief Answer:
It seems to be a harmless Papilloma
Detailed Answer:
Hi Avneet.
It seems like a Papilloma tongue by the looks of it in the photo you have sent. You must have noticed it recently or it might have increased in size recently. Dont worry its a harmless or benign swelling and does not seem to be problematic.
If you are worried it can be removed by a small operation under local anesthesia. But I don't think you need to do that. Do contact your Doctor if you feel much worried.
Take care and feel free to ask any clarifications if they arise. If not then please help us by rating this answer.
