Yes: Herpetic lesions can cause lymphadenopathy. Primary oral herpes especially can cause this. Are you sure your tongue lesion is herpetic?

Get a dental eval: The sore on the tip of your tongue may or may not be a herpetic lesion. A photo of a herpetic sore is enclosed. Please seek a dental eval immediately. Pain in the jaw and swollen nodes may be a sequelae from another underlying issue, viral, bacterial or pathologic. Unfortunately, without being seen this type of presentation is impossible to diagnose in this forum.

Monitoring Centers: Lymphatic system absorbs/carries things too big to go into the arteries/veins like bacteria eaten by white cells/digested food. Lymph nodes "taste" the lymph everywhere for bad stuff like bacteria/viruses/cancers, etc. When it detects a problem, it alerts the immune system and your body reacts. They enlarge in response to the inflammation they create when they react. They shrink when all is well.
