Ulcer on tongue

Asked for Female, 30 Years

I have got an ulcer on the side of my tongue. It is very painful and persistent since 3-4 days. Currently I am using betadine mouthwash and mouth heal gel but didn't find much improvement. Please suggest some way to reduce the pain. I have also tried gargling with salt water in warm water.
