Hi,
As per your query about pain in tongue and ear while having an infection is because of infection in ear there is pain in ear and regional lymph node swelling which is also painful. You need not to worry and consult an ENT specialist for antibiotics prescription.
Pain in tongue seems to be due to apthous stomatitis and glossitis which can be due to stress and decreased immunity sometimes. You can apply Chlorhexidine gel or numbing gel over it for relief in pain. If it doesn't seems to be healing consult an oral physician for a proper evaluation and examination. It usually heals within 7 to 10 days. Take a multivitamin supplements daily for few days as their deficiency sometimes causes stomatitis and glossitis.
I hope the information helps you. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Jyoti Pandey
