Its seems normal. But still if you have queries then consult with doctor online or offline for better guidance.
Try to maintain good oral hygiene by brushing twice a day, warm saline water rinses two to three times a day, betadine gargles twice a day.

Seems normal and healthy. Though clinical examination is necessary.
Wipe tongue with gentle pressure regularly with moist cotton cloth+tooth paste before bed time, after food.
