I have no idea what it is.
I cant really tell what color it is,
but it hurts pretty bad, it hurts to talk.
its been there for about 2 days now, and its quite uncomfertable.
i have not bitten my tounge or anything of that sort.
should i see a doctor?
CAN THIS BE TOUNGE CANCER?!?!?!?!?

It is probably most likely a swollen taste bud. Sometimes people eat trigger foods such as pineapples, tomatoes, oranges, etc... Citrus stuff can cause them. It should go away after a few days if you don't keep messing with it. However, if it doesn't and your really concerned about it- go to see a doctor. Even if it just for piece of mind. It's aways better safe than sorry.
Best of luck.
*Try eating something cold such as Popsicles to keep the swelling down. Also there are things out there that can numb it a bit, like Ambesol. It's for your teeth, but it won't hurt if you put a little on the side of your tongue.

It's not cancer. Lots of foods cause these things. I have had them many times in my life and they are a real pain but, they go away after a few days and are truly nothing to worry about.
