Minnie these day's it seems I've always got some sore spot or another going. Usually I manage to either burn my tongue on some sort of stir fried something or another or bite it some how and don't remember the exact time I did it.

I'm not familiar with Hershey's hugs, but the cut could possibly even be from something else even. The tongue is a muscle basically, and from what my ENT says can take a little longer to heal if there's a deep cut for the very reason you're describing. It's still at night, but during the day you move it around and stretch out the tissues and open up the wound again.

I'd keep an eye on it, as you know conventional wisdom is if it doesn't heal in 10 days to see the doc, but it sounds like you've already done that. So, I guess the next move is try not to move it around too much for a week. (How ever you do that I don't know)

Hope it gets better soon
Bob
