What Causes A Painful Blister On The Tongue?

Hi, I've had enlarged papillae towards the back of my tongue for quite some time. One such 'Ulser ' or blister developed on the right side back of the tongue - I noticed it about 3 weeks ago. This is mildly painful as well. Have been gargling with Bernadine and salt water continuously but it hasn't subsided. My saliva has been sticky since then. Also there's a very tiny abrasive surface on the inside of my mouth also on the right side for sometime. Pl advise what I should do. I'm a 40 year old Indian female. Am a thallesemia minor and anemic. Ocassionaly take b- complex supplements.
