What Causes Soreness And Pain On Tongue?

Hi, my tongue has been VERY sore for 4 days now. It hurts to eat, spit, swallow...everything. It seems like there is a sore underneath in the back, but i don't see anything but redness. Why is this and is there anything over the counter that can help me ease the pain?

Please note that the redness in your tongue could be due to inflammation.
This should go away within a week.For that you need to start with vitamin B complex.Continue it for a month and look for results.
In any case if you find the symptoms persists then please visit your dentist as it requires clinical examination.
Maintain good oral hygiene and do warm saline rinses twice daily.
Hope it helps.
