Hi,
Looking at the image, it seems to be an Aphthous ulcer over the lateral aspect of the tongue.
As you are suffering from this complain repeatedly, most probably you are suffering from Recurrent Aphthous Stomatitis.
Proposed causative factors for this condition include nutritional deficiency, immunologic factors, psychological stress, and dietary allergies, as well as trauma.
Ensure that you brush atraumatically and avoid eating particularly hard or sharp foods and avoid other trauma to the oral mucosa.
You should continue with the medicines advised earlier.
In addition, you should also apply Kenacort (Triamcinolone 0.1%) oral paste over the ulcer.
Mucopain oral gel as advised earlier, it has to be applied over the ulcer.
Also, follow all other advice mentioned in the previous answer.
Hope this answers your query.
Take care.
