I have red spots on my tongue?

Possibly normal: Depending on the type, location and size of the red spots they can be almost anything. It could range from normal anatomy, to migratory glossitis (geographic tongue) to sensitivity to certain types of foods or mouth rinses, to something "more". If this persists for a few more days, it could be wise to have your dentist check it out to make sure that they are typical.

Many things: Red spots on the tongue can be caused by many things, including a B12 deficiency, an infection, asthma or some oral cancers. Have a dentist do an oral cancer screening or see an ENT doctor to evaluate and rule out anything serious.
