Common Questions and Answers about Lump under your tongue

lump

Avatar m tn My friends son has developed a lump under his tongue which is painful and has put him off his food hence weight loss. She lives in Indonesia where medical care is costly and does not appear to be up to the standards you would expect. He has been prescribed a steroid ointment (for topical use only ?????) which has reduced the size of the lump but it then returns when the ointment is not used. I have suggested she ask her GP to undertake blood tests fbc ue b12 folate but after that I am at a loss.
Avatar n tn Hi....I have a small pea sized lump under my tongue on the right side. It's located in the valley of my mouth between the floor of the tongue and the gum line. It is below the tissue. It is painless and has there for 2 years or so. It has not gotten larger. I asked my dentist about it a year and a half ago...but she said it was likely nothing. Is this something I should be more concerned about? Does anyone know what this could be?

Avatar n tn I am a 34 year old male. For the first time in my life, I saw an escort 3 days ago. I performed oral sex on her for maybe a minute unprotected, only the outside (not inside the vagina). She then performed oral on me, protected. After that, I did not have intercourse with her, because I could not do it. I'm married and just felt really guilty. I woke up this morning, with a couple of small sores under my tongue. It appeared overnight and I'm extremely worried.
Avatar m tn Hi. a couple of concerns i have. Everything was fine then all of the sudden under my tongue at the floor of mouth started hurting i think a gland or something, then it started hurting in the back right under the tongue to the side. I got to look in mirror and didn't see anything. Then a instant sudden lump started forming under my chin on my neck throat area. It felt like a tumor but would think tumor just doesn't pop up like that. The lump went down about 15 min after it formed.
Avatar f tn Hello, I have found a lump under my mouth, which is right below my gums by my jaw. What can possibly be there that would be a lump? It has me worried....I have an appt for the ENT soon but it is driving me nuts. Any suggestions would help. Thanks!
1372123 tn?1280749911 I recently saw a dentist who did a Oral Exam and found a lump under my tongue. I had been complaining about my gland hurting and its not the first time, Infact its happened several times, since like 3 to 6 moths ago but never with like a cold or anything. I did see my doctor and she wants me to see a ENT specialist after my second visit with her cause it wont go away. Its been a month now since the discovery of this Lump. My Dentist wants me to see an Oral Surgeon.
Avatar n tn I have hard small lumps on the under-tongue where the duct lining and middle of the under tongue (that flap that kind of holds the tongue in place) since last Sunday-9 days ago. I also have a lump below my left jaw line that swelled that night that I noticed the hard nodules under my tongue. I have been very tired since then. My mom also said that my cheeks look bigger than normal..more like the jaw line - above it - and i feel no pain there.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn Hello, A detailed history and examination is necessary for appropriate diagnosis and management of your condition. A cyst on the tongue presents as a lump under the surface of the tongue. A cyst on the tongue can cause difficulties with swallowing or breathing if they protrude from the surface and grow too large. A cyst on the tongue can become infected .Other possibility is a condition called transient lingual papillitis.
Avatar f tn Sometimes there is a slight tingling pain in places in my mouth when i chew or move the tongue (mostly on the tongue or under) but it isnt serious at all and eventually goes away. Idk if this is because of dry mouth or what. All of these weird symptoms appearing are concerning me. Advice and knowledge on this topic to ease my stress would be appreciated.

Avatar f tn While putting lotion on my neck, I feel a tender lump directly under my chin. It is clearly above the thyroid. I wouldn't even consider it's location as being on my "neck". It is right under my chin before my neck/throat area begins. Please help!

Avatar n tn I am not a doctor but I had genital warts myself and I share something from my experience. I am not sure about the lump under your tongue, you should have that checked by a doctor. Does it look cauliflower like? As for transmiting genital warts by giving oral sex: I don't think that's a major concern (if it turns out what you have under your tongue is not a wart). I was diagnosed with genital warts 5 years ago.
Avatar n tn I have a swollen lump under my chin/tongue area as well as a very red (disgusting looking) throat.......what is it and what should i do??? P.S. I hate doctors, clinics, and hospitals.....any home remedies perhaps??? My Mom says I should gargle with peroxide. The 3 % kind, diluted with water. About half and half she said. Should I?????
Avatar n tn I looked in my mouth and noticed a lump underneath my tongue and it was very painful to the touch and eating. Now this lump extends the back of my mouth going under my tongue and then connects to the back of my tongue. The pain is now constant and only lessons with ibuprofen. I now also have pain going to my ear and to the back of my head when I move my tongue a certain way, so I have to be careful not to move it that way.
Avatar f tn My mother is 87. She woke up with a large painful lump under her tongue. It was painful to touch the side of her mouth and under her jaw on the left side. She ate her breakfast of a breakfast bar and milk. At the end of her breakfast she tasted something very salty. When she felt her mouth the pain was gone and so was the lump. Can you tell me what this could be and if we should worry about it.

Avatar n tn I have a lump that started under my tongue a couple of weeks ago. After about 5 days it was red and sore when I tried to eat. Someone told me to suck on lemon slices (don't laugh). I tried this and the next day it was already alot smaller. After another day of sucking on lemon slices it was almost completely gone. A week and a half later it has appreared again. Sucking on the lemon slices again, and it is growing alot smaller. What in the world can this be?
Avatar f tn As for herpes I do get one outbreak a year and no there was no outbreak at the time of exsposure,  but yet I have had an outbreak at around week 8/9 I still have my lump, i had an ultrasound scan on 20.11.13 they said the lump was 1cm lymph node and in feb it was rescanned and shrunk to 0.5cm.
Avatar m tn In any case I had a lot of pain in that area, but also there was swelling under the right side of my tongue, which was also painful. I told my uncle (who is a physician) and he told me to use Listerine when I brush my teeth, that it works as an antibiotic and the gland would go down and the pain would go away. I decided to take him up on his advice.
