thanks for your query, i have gone through your query, the redness and swollen gums around the teeth could be secondary to tooth fracture or bone fracture. the break or cut in the tongue can cause burning sensation and pain. consult a oral physician and take radiograph to rule out fractured tooth or bone.. you can take topical analgesic and anesthetic to reduce pain. i hope my answer will help you. take care.
