What Could Cause Pain Under The Tongue?

I am seventeen years old and have been having pain under my tongue for the past couple days. I have those two horn like flaps under my tongue and one of them is swollen and red. I used to brush the top of my tongue, but it has become too painful. My lip also feels like it could be a little bit swollen, and my teeth have been having more problems then ever lately. Do you know what's wrong with me? Are these symptoms related?

thanks for your query, i have gone through your question, the pain under the tongue along with swollen papillae could be secondary to inflammed salivary gland duct secondary to some stone within the duct..or it can be an ulcer secondary to trauma...the swelling over the lip could be because of some tooth infection...consult your oral physician for complete examination and proper diagnosis with prompt management..you need to take some radiographs in relation to the duct region(occlusal radiographs) and for the tooth (IOPAR)...I hope my answer will help you...with regards..
