Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
From your explanation, it looks like the red stripe on tongue can be due to inflammation of tongue and it can be due to the infection that you are going through that is most probably upper respiratory tract infection..So my suggestion is to consult an Emergency room and get evaluated and you can be advised supportive treatment to relieve the symptoms like:1. Gargle with a warm saline solution that is by mixing 1 teaspoon salt in a glass of water and warm it to make a luke warm solution..2. Take a combination of decongestant like Phenylephrine, mucolytic like Ambroxol and anti allergic levocetrizine and another combination of Acetaminophen and Ibuprofen..3. Do steam inhalations..4. Avoid spicy and chilled foods..5. Sip on warm water throughout the day..For red stripe on tongue do warm saline gargles and do cool compresses over it.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards..
