How long did that “tongue ulcer” persist?


Have you consulted any doctor or dentist up till now?


That ulcer can be due to many reasons (chronic trauma, infection…) including a very serious one (cancer, for example). Treatment and prognosis depends upon the diagnosis.


You should consult an oral surgeon as soon as possible.
