Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query.
The ulcer over the tongue can be a traumatic ulcer or a recurrent aphthous ulcer. Nothing to be panic consult a oral physician and get it evaluated. You can use topical steroids like triamcinolone acetone and for pain you can use topical anesthetics like lignocaine. If the ulcer does not heal in two weeks then get it biopsied.
I hope I have answered your query. Take care..
