Hello,
Sore and painful tongue is due to Piercing of tongue .
This lead into ulceration of tongue.
Take diclofenac tablets after consulting with your dentist to relieve pain.
Avoid spicy foods.
Please do not go for tongue piercing as it is not a healthy practice.
Vitamin c and folic acid supplements can be prescribed.
Take care.
