Possible tongue cancer?

Hi about 4 weeks again I had a really sore tongue which quickly filled by my right top part of my tongue being really swollen and an ulcer underneath. Very annoying and gradually the tongue has now come down however I have a very solid 1cm lump left on the under side of the actual tongue towards the tip. My researching of ventral under toungue comes up as possible cancer etc as it’s more than three weeks. Would tongue cancer start this way or could I just be an infection. I’m a 44 year old male smoker

It could be a lot of things that aren't cancer. Have you been using any kind of mouthwash or rinse to try to help? Is that why the tongue swelling came down? In your shoes, I would see a doctor, but not panic that it's cancer. Good luck.
