Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The soreness in the tongue and the gums can be because of herpetic gingivostoamatitis. Nothing to be panic, consult a oral physician and get it evaluated.
If i am your treating doctor, I would have suggested you to take topical anesthetic and analgesics like 2%lignocaine and choline salicylate gel (anabel gel) apply 3-4 times daily before food. Consume lot of liquid.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
