Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Redness of tongue is appearing to be due to dry mouth causing Glossitis that is inflammation of the tongue.
There can also be due to fungal infection inside the mouth causing Oral Thrush.
Using Biotene mouthwash can help in reducing dry mouth as well as it has antifungal agent that cam help in reducing redness inside mouth.
So my suggestion is to first of all get relieved for dry mouth.
For this yoy should chew sugarfree chewing gum.
Use oral lubricant like Oralgel.
Drink plenty of water.
Continue Biotene mouthwash.
Such ice to reduce inflammation and redness..

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora
