Hello,
You may be suffering from glossitis secondary to antibiotics intake or nutritional deficiencies or infection. Use B complex and iron tablet daily for two weeks. Use salt water for gargling. Avoid alcohol and smoking. If no improvement, please consult with your physician he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
