It may be tonsils. Try hot water gargles with salt. If it does not resolve within a few days please consult a doctor

The description with photographs is very important. You may consult an Oral Medicine expert who deals with such problems. You may even Practo consult one to one

You can send the pics. Tongue should be well examined by oral medicine expert. Can be some taste buds also. Habit history is also important.
