Suggest Treatment For A Painful Lump On The Tongue

For the past three or four days, I ve noticed a pea size solid lump inside the tip of my tongue. I started noticing it because of the pain. I am now at a point we re it hurts very bad if my tongue touches anything(teeth, gums...). And if I squeeze it, it s even worst. The pain is getting bad enough that I m considering the ER. Mi dad had a cancerous tumor in his throat a years ago. Should I be worried? Should I go to the ER?
