Why does my tongue hurt today? can some foods from dinner cause it?

Not sure: I am not aware of anything that causes pain in the tongue. Can you be more specific about what kind of pain, and what you ate? You could have a small taste bud which is degenerating and causing a little pain, or you could also have a canker sore.
