Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The swollen lip and cheek can be because of the gum or tooth infection leading to pus formation which has spread to the soft tissues. Nothing to be panic, consult a oral physician and get it evaluated. Mean while you can take a course of antibiotics like amoxycillin and metronidazole(if you are not allergic). Regarding the loss of taste and fissured tongue, this can occur secondary to nutritional deficiency. You can take nutritional supplements like vitamin B6, B12
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
