Salivary gland stone: Is the only valid explanation to your symptom , pressure build inside your sublingual salivary gland that it's duct is blocked by a stone, that in turn press on nerve endings causes the symptoms. I would have it checked by your dentist, ct scan or ultrasound may be required ..
