    sometimes your tongue can just get sore. especially if you're a bit run down, or stressed, or ill. apparently it's a bit like having a mouth ulcer.

    mine does it quite a lot. v. annoying. sucking ice can soothe it a bit.

    I often get a big sore lump on my tomgue and its when I'm run down. Dunno the science why but try also slat waer gargling and if its really sore you could try a throat numbing spray-but lightly as its your tongue not your throat-infact try some antiseptic throat sweets as they always numb my tongue!!

    If they don't go within a few days go to doctors!

    not sure whether it will do any good or not, but try putting bicarbonate of soda on it and sucking an ice cube. :p
