The pain might be caused by a cavity or a sharp tooth, which may also be contributing to the development of an ulcer. It is advisable to consult a dentist for a thorough evaluation and appropriate treatment.

Dear Patient,
Most likely you have a decayed tooth due to a cavity, which has indeed made the edges of the tooth slightly sharper. My advice is to take out some time & get it treated by your nearby dentist. Temporary relief isn't the permanent solution. You may end up hurting the back of the tongue more.
Hope this was helpful. Keep smiling.
