Is Herpes Infection, Related With Blisters On Tongue?

Hello. For the past few days I’ve had complications with my wisdom tooth area. Pain began in my lower wisdom teeth and gradually I started having symptoms of headache and sweats. Afterward I got what seems to be a sore of some short on my tongue, and inner lip. My initial reaction was that I might have the Herpes Simplex but the characteristics weren’t exactly the same as “Fever Blisters” Do you have any thoughts to what my conditions may be?

Hi

Thanks for the query.

It seems that the symptoms of pain around the wisdom tooth along with headache can be radiating pain from the wisdom tooth area.
The pain in the wisdom tooth site seems to be due to inflammation of the gum flap around wisdom tooth secondary to infection due to food accumulation between the gum flap and the tooth whereas it can also be due to infection in the wisdom tooth.
It needs to be evaluated by a dentist and a clinical evaluation and x ray can help in diagnosis and treatment can be planned accordingly.

Secondly the ulcers on the tongue seems to be apthous ulcers or canker sores and can be due to a number of causes like Deficiency of iron and vitamin B12, stress, acid reflux, physical injury with some sharp teeth etc. I would suggest you to take Vitamin B complex for ulcers..
Do warm saline gargles. Apply numbing gel containing Lignocaine for relieving the pain. Suck ice pops..For pain in wisdom tooth anti-inflammatory painkiller like Advil or Aleve can be taken.

Hope this helps.

Regards
