The lesion may be of aphthous ulcer type.
I would suggest you to take plenty of nutritious rich food.
Maintain good oral hygiene.
Floss your tongue daily.
Vitamin becosules,iron and folic acid tablets can be administered.
In severe cases,steroids has to be administered after consulting with your dentist.

Black lines on the tongue surface can be because of improper oral hygiene , ulcerations , use of certain medications , long term fever , dehydration and mouth breathing habit.
Clean your tongue gently with a tongue scraper or a soft bristle toothbrush .
Take vitamin suplements .
Drink lots of water.
If fever , cough is present the condition will resolve once the illness go away.
Consult to a Dentist and get checkup done .
