Hi,
There is nerve communication between ear and tongue. Ear ache may be associated with tongue lesion. You have not mentioned your age. Anyway, in my opinion you may review this slide. The symptoms you have mentioned probably due to secondary infection. Consult your doctor and try an antibiotic course after proper culture sensitivity and analgesic. Take care.
