What Causes Inflamed Papilla On The Tip Of Tongue?

Hello, a few days ago i began to develop inflamed papillae on the tip of my tongue. Are these considered canker sores? The pain is sharp and burns and is causing excessive salivation. Tongue has been inflamed for 3 days and today i just developed swollen submental/sublingual glands right under my chin. No fever, fatigue, or malaise.
