Hi..
Thanks for the query..

It is inflammation inside mouth that can be due to a number of causes but common causes that can cause such symptoms can be allergy to any foods, eating plenty of sour and spicy foods, vitamin B12 or Iron deficiency,if you have a dry mouth then it can also be a cause..
Start taking a Vitamin B complex daily for atleast a period of 15 days, gargle with mouthwash that contains Lidocaine/Lignocaine as an ingredient.
You should also soothe the tongue by doing warm saline rinses..
Sucking ice and holding water in mouth can also be done as it will help in reducing heat and relieving inflammation and pain..
Take soft and cooled foods and avoid all forms of hot, spicy and other irritant foods..
If it does not seems better in a week then consult a Dentist so that he can check for infections like Oral Thrush..

Hope you get well soon..

Regards.
