Dear,
As per history u have given u did not swallowed it. Presently only symptoms u have is regarding ur tongue. If there is no Pain in abdomen, Nausea or vommitting since the incidence then there is nothing to worry about. But if ur having any problems mentioned above then it is strongly recommended that u should consult ur GP. For ur Tongue it seems there is no much injury but only problem that ur facing is ur not able to taste same as earlier. For timebeing u can apply zytee gel on ur tongue which will soothe it. It will probably take about a week to get back to normal taste sensation. As I mentioend earlier if u have any of those symptoms eg. Pain in abd, Nausea, vommitting then u should consult ur GP asap. Let me know if this is helpful
