Hi mam. Kindly apply the gel. Get your mother to a dentist and get her wisdom tooth evaluated. Whether it is because of it's sharp edges which needs to be trimmed or removed. Don't be scared. This is very normal

Hello
Please Reach out to a dentist as soon as possible to smoothen out the sharp edge atleast, so the trauma stops. Meanwhile you can apply over the counter gels like mucopain for temporary relief. The ulcer on tongue is to be monitored and taken care of. Do reach out for further issues
Regards

It could be due to irritation from the tooth rubbing against her tongue, abraded wisdom tooth, or other dental issues. It's best to consult a dentist for a proper diagnosis and treatment options.

That indeed of a bad wound.
Give her oral pain killers. zytee won’t help completely. You can apply zytee before meals.
Plz maintain oral hygiene.
If this is happening over and over again plz either get the wisdom tooth extracted off have it evaluated for sharp cusps.
Next Steps
Avoid spicy food. Shift to semi solid food for a week as swallowing will be a problem with her and the pain will radiate to her throat area as well
