Hi Dear ,

As per your query you have inflammation on the tongue and throat which seems to be due to sore throat, it could be due to acid reflux and herpes infection. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist for proper examination. It its due to viral infection then it will go away in few days without any treatment . If its bacterial then doctor will prescribe antibiotic course . For now take medication such as acetaminophen and ibuprofen to ease pain. Start gargling with warm salt water and using throat lozenges. Maintain complete hygiene and do antiseptic gargles with betadine as well.

Hope your concern has been resolved.
