It is normal.
Burning sensation might be due to Vitamin B12 defeciency,get it checked.
Visit local dentist and get round off your sharp edges for upper molar if it is hurting.

Most probably it is because of any sharp margins of any adjacent tooth.
Please visit a local oral medicine specialist for physical evaluation and treatment (as required).
Avoid too hot or spicy food items.
Maintain oral hygiene.

Doesn't seem to be cancerous but plz get yourself properly examined physically by seeing a doctor.
Rubbing of teeth can cause discomfort in tongue but whenever in doubt you must seem proper medical attention from a well qualified and experienced doctor.
