Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that during removal of the lump and salivary gland there has been nerve injury leading to nerve paresthesia causing pain under the tongue and also pins and needles over the tongue..
Many a times nerve injuries can cause firing of impulses leading to the symptoms that your mother is facing..
So my suggestion is to consult a Neurophysician and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like MRI Scan can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly..
She can be advised Neurotic painkillers like Gabapantin, Carbamazipine ec to relieve pain..
Along with it Vitamin B12 supplements can also be advised..

Hope this information helps..
Thanks and regards.
