Hello
Sometimes an ulcer on the tongue can becthere for 2 weeks. And it is very painful usually if it gets infected. If it feels like it is spreading backwards toward throat it is good of you had a dentist or ENT SURGEON look it up.
All depends ob how longvyou are having it.
Pain radiating tp ear can happen.
Thank you.

Hello
Ulcer on the side is normal if it subsides within 2 weeks... if you have it for more than two weeks then you need to show to a dentist or ENT SURGEON to go for further examination.
Use saline gargle and avoid spicy and hot food.
if you are sure that it is increasing in size and is more than two centimetres, immediately show to a dentist.
thank you.
