Tongue ulcer: It depends upon how long you have had the lesion. Does the whitish coating rub off? The fact that it is only on one side of your mouth is peculiar , but without more information, it would be best to see an oral surgeon to see which microorganism it is and how best to treat it.

Virus: Yes, in all likelihood you have an adeno virus infection that will last about ten days. Gargle several times a day and take ibuprofen.
