Hi, dear
I have gone through your question.
I can understand your concern.
You have hypothyroidism. Your tongue pain and dysphagia seams to be unrelated with thyroid. It can be due to some other issues. You need an examination. Consult your ENT doctor once and plan accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question.
If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you very good health.
