Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The soreness in the tongue can be because of the traumatic ulcer over the tongue secondary to biting over the tongue when it was numb. The pain in the extracted site can be because of inflammatory origin, it is quite common after extraction. You can complete the course of antibiotics prescribed after extraction preferably, a combination of amoxicillin 500 mg and metronidazole 400 mg TID for 5 days (if you are not allergic). For the soreness in the tongue, you can take topical anesthetic and analgesics like 2%lignocaine and choline salicylate gel (Anabel gel) apply 3-4 times daily before food. Do saline gargling. Nothing to worry, you will be fine in 2-3 days. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
