Hi, Greetings from HCM.Since you have a pea sized lump and there is associated pain and habit of biting tongue it could be a dental ulcer with swelling.You have to consult a dentist and look for sharp edges of tooth which has to be corrected.You can try mouth washes and can apply metronidazole mouth gel and topical oral steriods which will solve the problem
