Suggest Treatment For Sensitivity In Tooth And Tongue Burn

I have a tooth on the right side that has been sensitive for the past 2 years my dentist says it is not infected and fine. 5 days ago I started having swollen lymph nodes right under the jaw line on that side. They sort of itched or were numb feeling I don't know how to describe it. Today my jawline is a little red and splotchy. Lymph nodes still feel the same. Also my tongue feels like I burnt it. that statred last night but i don't remember doing anything to it. I am on prilosec and zantac for what my doctor believes is an ulcer. I am a 27 year old female

thanq for your query
the sensitivity of tooth and the subsequent lymph node swelling you described indicated that the tooth has infected internally and externally may look absolutely fine. visit your dentist and ask for an X-ray in that region and if there are any abnormal changes the further treatment will be done by your doctor.
there is no need to use prilosec and zantac unless you have gastric ulcers or taking pain killers. dont use the unnecessarily.
use MUCOPAIN if u have ulcer on tongue, this topical medication is just sufficient. apply it before you take food.
another cause for feeling of burnt tongue is vitamin deficiency. eat lots of green leafy vegetables and fruits.
anemia could also cause burning sensation of tongue. this is seen during your menstrual cycle. so dont worry. make slight changes in your diet.
