I've been dealing with this ulcer on my tongue and the side of my tongue for a really long time now, and its becoming a constant issue. It's kind of worrying me because it never seems to go away. What could be causing this, and should I be doing something different to get rid of it?

You need to get this checked..there might be a tooth with a sharp margin constantly coming on contact with the side of you tongue causing the ulcers..please do meet a dentist and an ENT specialist asap.

I have a small hard lump inside my cheek near where my jaws meet and I keep accidentally biting it. It's really bothering me is there any way to get rid of an oral fibroma without surgery? Can you suggest any medicines that might help?
