What Causes Blisters On Tongue And Why Is My Child Keeping Index Finger In Mouth?

My two year old has what looks like dime size blisters on his tongue. It almost looks like he has bitten his tongue on each side. Looked at pics online of hand foot and mouth disease but it doesn't look like that. He has been keeping his pointer finger in his mouth and I thought it was because of teething? What could this be?
