Sores On The Tongue, Feeling A Lump In The Mouth. Anything To Be Worried?

Hi I have a sore tongue, for the second time now I have a spot/sore area that has appeared again, the first one was white and on the tip of my tongue and the second is more on the upper surface. I glide my tongue (the surface of it) up against my teeth and can feel the spot still there after 2-3 days, also i have a small lump which i can feel on the top of my mouth with my tongue..

Should this potentially be of any major concern or worry for me..?

Hi, you have a sore tongue, which is white.You also have a spot on the top of the tongue.
It is called glositis and apthus ulcer, due to defeciency of vitamin b complex, and infection over that.
I usually prescribe b complex,antibiotics, and probiotics for complete cure. So i advise you to consult a physician for treatment.
Thank you.
