Read your query and understand your concern as you have tongue injury during crown placement dont be worried so much see what happened is wound healing depends on some factors like Age of patient , Vascularity at site of injury , stress , caring of wound , Habit like (Smoking , chewing tobacco) .
For this I will suggest you to do some remedies at home :

- Do warm saline rinses 3 -4 times daily .
- You can take Multivitamin tablets like A to Z or Zevit by consulting with local doctor .
