Painful lump inside tongue

I’ve recently noticed this lump/bump/hole on the back of my tongue almost near my throat. Really not sure what it is & It’s very painful which is making it hard for me to eat/drink etc, i’ve been taking pain medication for around three days to try and ease the pain but nothing seems to work. Just wondering if you can help.
