It hurts to recite during prayer, what should I do?

For context, i’m not sure how it got there but I have some kinda cut somewhere between my tongue and because of this it hurts to speak. Regardless I would power through and get all my prayers done by the end of the day, but recently it’s gotten a lot worse to the point where the slightest movements hurt and irritate me, I can hardly talk, let alone recite… so what should I do?
