Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query.
The red spots over the tongue can be because of depapilation of the tongue due to nutritional deficiency. The other possible cause can be a herpes virus infection. Nothing to be panic. you can consult an oral physician and get it evaluated. mean while you can take a course of topical anesthetics like lignocaine and topical analgesics like choline salicylate. Take nutritious food.
I hope I have answered your query. Take care.
