Hi.
Thanks for the query..

It looks like you either ripped or injured your tongue while opening the packet or you have got an allergic reaction due to contact of the tongue mucosa to some irritant that can be either over the packet of the sauce of exposure to chemical n the dye..

So my suggestion is to gargle thoroughly to remove any irritant if present over the tongue..
You can also take benadryl to relieve the symptoms..
Do warm saline gargles..
Gargle with 1:1 solution of benadryl and milk of magnesia solution..
Do cool compresses over the tongue..

Hope fully you will get better soon..

Hope this helps..

Regards.
