Warmth, Itchiness On Tongue. Hard, Left Tonsil. Sharp Wisdom Tooth. No Difficulty Swallowing. What Is This?

I have had this warm and itchy feeling on the left side of my tongue for about two months, it is less now than it was before. I have a really sharp wisdom tooth on that side which the dentist says should be removed. I also noticed that the left lingual tonsil is different than the right one. It is a bit harder than the right lingual tonsil. I have no problem in swallowing. Could you please tell me what this could be? Can wisdom tooth hurt the lingual tonsil?

hello
it is the infected sharp tooth which is causing the problem.
Tonsils enlarge if there is any infection in surrounding tissue or teeth.
You tongue also might be having small ulcers which need to be treated as early as possible.
consult and get the tooth removed it is not of much use and is creating trouble.
take---
Tab. Mucinac 600 once daily
