thank you.
Brief Answer:
Traumatic ulcer, Topical anesthetic, Topical analgesic
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query and the image.
As far as the irritation in the tip of your tongue is concerned, it can be because of the traumatic ulcer secondary to biting over the tip of the tongue by teeth. Nothing to be panic, it will heal in 5 days. You can take a course of topical analgesics like Choline salicylate and topical anesthetics like lignocaine.
I hope i have answered your query.
If you any queries reply me back.
Take care.
