A member asked:

How come the bottom of my tongue hurts?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Tongue pain: Tongue pain - or any oral pain - should be examined by a physician if it is persistent. Most causes are inflammatory, but other causes should be ruled out and in some cases a biopsy may be necessary.
