Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns....

As per your complain raised papillae at the tip of tongue can be due too persistent irritation to the tip of tongue with some sharp tooth edge or other sources, tongue biting habit, chronic excess intake of hot and spicy food, side effect of medication etc..
You should do warm saline gargles and also clean your tongue using a tongue cleaner..
Avoid hot and spicy food and take multivitamin supplements..
In case if you have any sharp tooth get it smoothed..
In case of no improvement in 2 weeks consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
