Hardness in tongue

Asked for Male, 29 Years

Hi. Whenever I drink or eat something cold, a small area in right side of my tongue becomes hard. Though it's pain only if I press this area with my teeth. After sometime when temperature of my tongue gets normal this area again becomes soft. I am suffering this from last 1 year. I didn't felt uncomfortable because of this till now. Can anyone tell me reason for this and if I should consult a doctor, then which specialisation doctor should I go?
