According to your symptoms, (painful and burning sensation in the tongue, phlegm in the throat in the morning) you might be experiencing tongue inflammation (glossitis) and throat inflammation (pharyngitis). You can see your GP (general practitioner) for an examination and therapy, if necessary. Local antiseptics may be required and perhaps an antibiotic, if necessary.
