Will my tongue regenerate?

I’m going to guess that that cut you are talking about goes straight down the middle of your tongue?

If so, it’s normally there. It just happens to appear more severe because your buds were inflamed. Don’t take my word for it, but I think burning your tongue like that just kills off the taste buds on the surface of the tongue. Your tongue sheds like your skin sheds, so your taste buds will regrow/come back soon.

If the cut was not what I was thinking of, then perhaps you should see the doctor. But how would hot coffee, no matter how hot, make an abnormal cut on your tongue? O.o
