Hello and thank you for the question!
Problems with your tongue can result from infections,chronic medical conditions,toxins etc.Also,symptoms can be associated with your tounge and throat such as :dehydration,dry mouth,fever or thrush(candida infection).I would advice you to take care of it,by gargling with salt warm water,drink plenty of drinks,choose high quality fluids such as soup broth and sugar containing solutions.If your situation doesnt change,you may consult your doctor or have a throat culture.
Best regards
