Thanksforyourquery. I have gone through your query.
The soreness over the tongue can be because of the trauma caused by the teeth or it can be secondary to herpetic virus infection. Nothing to be panic, consult a oral physician and get it evaluated. Mean while you can use topical anesthetic like lignocaine and topical analgesic like choline salicylate. Do saline gargling. I hope I have answeredyour query. Take care.
