Have sore feeling on side of tongue on & off for year,looks same on both sides,see few bumps on both sides but side that hurts looks a bit redder,goes away & feels perfect for weeks & then it bothers me again, dont smoke, drink & no hpv, worry?

You could consult an oral surgeon for evaluation and advice. Perhaps the recurring problem is caused by trauma from nearby teeth rubbing up against the sides of the tongue. I assume you're not experiencing recurring canker sores.
