I had a cactus fruit yesterday and later I feel uncomfortable on the tongue. It feels like a glochids (hair-like spines) have attached into the tongue tip part. When the tongue touches teeth, it gives slight sting feeling. But I can't see where exact the glochids is on the tongue. Shall I visit medical services and take it out?
