About a month ago, I got pains on the left side of my tongue. They went away after about 2-3 weeks, but now they're back about 10x worse.
I can't eat or even talk without it hurting, and I don't know what's wrong. in fact, any type of tongue movement causes pains.
I've tried looking in the mirror, but the pain is too far back to see.
And I tried gargling salt water to see if it's an ulcer, but it didn't hurt, so I don't think it's an ulcer.
None of my parents are home for the week, and I'm wondering if I should go see my doctor.

Please help, it's really painful, and it's really ruined the past few days.
