it could be a vitamin deficiency, you'd be surprised at how just a little thing like that can affect different parts of the body...the tongue included.
pale fissured tongue - iron deficiency
sore painful fissured tongue - vitamin B3 deficiency
sore burning tongue and lips and peeling of lips - vitamin B2 deficiency
swollen tongue with lateral teeth indentations - food intolerance
painful sore tongue with a smooth appearance - folic acid deficiency
A multi-vitamin might help him.
Bad bad oral hygiene. Just a guess.
Tell Your "brother" that He will find better answers on a medical website.
could be he ate something he is allergic to, or bad dental hygeine, or an upset stomach. i would recommend to rinse with warm salt water. but also call your doctor and see if he wants you to come in.....
It might be strep.
Did you know if you just Google your symptoms, sites will come up to help you figure it out.
Tell him to Mouth wash with HYDROGEN PEROXIDE. It will kill the pain and heal your gums and mouth tissue.
Taking Folic acid, B-12 or B complex should solve the problem.
I actually did a search and one suggestion was that it is a vitamin deficiency. Our bodies are only as good as the Vitamins we take in either through food or Pills.
Tell him to go see a doctor.
