The red spots could be your taste buds just showing more. If you find your food and drink doesn't taste so good, the white spots could be a fungal infection. If it was thrush your tongue would have a white coating. Go to your doctor. In the mean time, mix a couple of teaspoonfuls of salt into a glass of warm boiled water and gargle with that. Don't swallow it.

Sandee is right. They are most likely just normal anatomy that you never noticed before. Search the internet for an image of a tongue and see if it looks like yours.
Here are the little red dots:

you'll live lol no damage or permanent damage, because with a low blow headache and redness is expected. but its nothing to worry about, it will stop in a day or 2 :) the skull is strong and your brain is surrounded by fluid to protect it. Just tell ur friend not to hit you in the head again lol. hope that cheers u up :)

Sometimes the little bumps on your tongue swell up and it looks strange but it is usually sort of painfull. I just rinse my mouth with salt, which tend to kill off all bacterial things. Try it, it might work...

Sounds like Thrush. See your doctor or Pharmacist.
