Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for posting the query
The soreness of the tongue, also known as glossitis is caused due to various factors. To mention a few:
1. Vitamin deficiency
2. Smoking
3. Consumption of alcohol/hot/spicy food/fizzy drinks, etc.
4. Acid reflux disease
5. Taking pain relievers
Consumption of wine may aggravate the soreness.
You may require oral anti-inflammatory gel such as Triamcilone acetate. Also, you will require multivitamin supplements to boost up the immunity and effective repair of the mucosa. Drink plenty of warm water and eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables.
If the pain persists consult your doctor for a complete evaluation.
