Reviewed your pictures. As far as i have observed it seems like traumatic ulcer due to tongue bite. There is nothing to be worried apply topical ointment prescribed twice a day with one capsule Vitamin B complex once a day for one week and follow prescribed measures that will be helpful for you.

If any symptoms persists after one week then feel free to ask i will be happy to help.

Thanks & regards.
