What could cause an ulcer/hole on the lower side of my tongue?

Many possibilities - aphthous ulcer, herpes simplex, even syphilis. You need to be examined, maybe blood tests drawn

At your age most likely a canker sore from stress or too much acidic food in your system. It is a virus that goes away in 5-7days and for pain the pharmacy sells OTC liquid or paste to put on area. You could have bitten your tongue to cause this event which is a reaction from trauma.
