What Causes Pain Under The Tongue?

I had root canal 8 months ago and all has been great since. Up until recently I had a large ulcer on the inner side of my gum near said tooth and have started with a pulling feeling under my tongue which is quite uncomfortable when sticking out my tongue or eating also my jaw has been sore but is now ok just still suffering with the pain under my tongue? I have no tooth pain whatsoever and all is ok with my teeth as I ve visited a dentist recently

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

The pain can be due to the ulcer that is formed on the inner aspect of the gum and pain in tongue can be due to inflammation and radiating pain from the ulcer.
Soy suggestion is to consult an oral physician and get evaluated.
You can be advised anti inflammatory painkillers like Advil and apply Lidocaine gel over it.
Also do warm saline gargles and antiseptic mouthwash gargles.
Also suck ice pops.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora
