This looks like a form of transient lingual papillitis.
Usually no treatment is required for the classic form as the condition may resolves within few hours to days. It’s a recurring condition and reoccurrence is common in such cases where it can be treated with:
Salt water rinses normally or with pain medications.
Next Steps
If it hasn’t been reoccurring and is persistent since 5 months please book your appointment for a better examination.
