Tongue Irritation: Good day; Usually a chronic tongue sore most often is due to a sharp tooth or teeth cusps that require equilibration (adjustment) other times you can " bite your tongue". A most appropriate time to visit the dentist ASAP.

Disturbing: This should not be ignored. Hole may be just that, a hole. Or it may be a significant lesion. Does he smoke? Are teeth uneven/broken/sharp? How long since his last regular Dental check-up? Please make appointment with Dentist immediately.
