Virus infection: Ulcer on tongue is often caused by a virus infection and should resolve in a few days. Mouth washes containing hydrogen peroxide should help to relieve the symptoms. If the problem continues a visit with your doctor is needed to rule out other causes of tongue swelling such as vitamin deficiencies.
