Dr. John Chiu answered

Talk to dentist?: A viral sore throat does not last 14 days and would not migrate to under the tongue. There is some inflammation going on and perhaps your dentist can provide a better answer. I am concerned that you may have an abscess either originating from a tooth or remotely the sinus.

Dr Malerman and 3 doctors agreed
