Brief Answer:
Tramautic, aphthous ulcer, medication, depapillation
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query.
As far as the soreness over the tongue is concerned, it can be because of the traumatic ulcer or aphthous stomatitis. Nothing to be panic, consult a oral physician and get it evaluated. Mean while you can take topical anesthetic like lignocaine and topical analgesic like choline salicylate. Do not take tension because tension can aggravate the soreness.
Regarding the altered taste, this can occur secondary to loss of taste buds or papilla because of nutritional deficiency. The other possible cause can be because of pus discharge secondary to gum or tooth infection. Nothing to be panic, consult a oral physician and get the diagnosis confirmed and later we can treat accordingly. If it is because of nutritional deficiency, you need to take nutritional supplements, eat green leafy vegetables.
If there are any infections in gums or teeth then it has to be treated.
I hope I have answered your query. If any queries are there reply me back. Take care.
