Swollen glands on tongue

Common Questions and Answers about Swollen glands on tongue

swollen

Avatar m tn For a week now the tissue under my tongue has been swollen. I've read that you cant see salivary gland but ive always had 2 pin holes under my tongue where saliva came from. Maybe those are just ducts and not salivary glands i see. Either way it started the day after thanksgiving. The night before thanksgiving i went out drinking with friends. I drank way too much and thanksgiving day i spent laying in bed vomiting a lot.
Avatar f tn A few months ago my salivary glands became swollen to point I couldn't swallow. After medicine they went down, but never completely went back to normal. About two months ago my tongue began to get white-ish in the center, coupled with occasional morning sore throats. Now, on top that, pink patches are forming on my tongue (almost replacing the white-ish) and I have a foul taste in the back of my mouth. I'm not completely sure what is going on, nor why.
Avatar f tn I have genital outbreaks and oral, but have never had anything on my tongue before. Well this week I have swollen glands, an outbreak on my chin, and an odd lesion on my tongue. I have had a very stressful past couple weeks. Anyway, the place on my tongue is just an ulcer. There is no blistering it isn't white or swollen and is localized to just the tip of my tongue.
215021 tn?1224882457 It feels rough and dry - like theres not enough saliva on that side and like I had something lodged at the very back down where it meets the teeth. It feels like my tongue is slightly swollen on the left. There are no marks or anything unusual on the tongue itself just this constant strange feeling. My tongue keeps flicking around as if I need to dislodge something or coat it in saliva - it is driving me nuts.
Avatar m tn I got my tongue webbing pierced yesterday and now i have a fever and my neck glands are swollen. My tongue is resonably fine though, no pain, a little bit of pus but thats normal right? what do you think?
1373434 tn?1284820769 Hello, I can understand your concern. I doubt, however that you have throat cancer. I would get the opinion of another doctor is this one does not want to help or talk to you.
Avatar m tn In the last month and a half I have woke up between 3 and 5 am with one half of my tongue swollen and glands in neck swollen. I have not changed any medications, cleaning products or foods. Does any one have any idea what is going on. I am 47 years old. I am an Asthmatic but have been on same medications for years. Thanks for any information.
Avatar m tn I am now at two weeks past the encounter. The whiteness on my tongue and red bumps are persisting. The swollen glands have almost gone away, but no longer have any soreness. The general "out-of-it" feeling has continued, but remains very subtle. I have been able to continue working out at the gym without any loss of energy or lifting power. I've read too much on the Internet to have a good idea of what this may be. Oral herpes? Candida?
Avatar m tn As of some weeks ago I seem to be having an odd problem on my tongue (after the tonsil problem) , it started out with swollen on my tongue left side and right side. ( it looks like swollen red spot glands). When I eat some hot thing ( hot means Chilli like) and Citrus things the red spot on my tongue increases. I need your suggestion and help.
Avatar f tn Hi, I have a big problem that has been bothering me throughout my life. I am 29 years old and have had one of the glands under my tongue swell up since I was a little girl. I remember I used to push down with my finger and saliva would squirt out or I would press down with my tongue to release it from pain. As I grew older, I didn't get this as much, just on and off. For the past year though, the problem came back and has gotten really bad.
Avatar f tn Really does not appear related.
Avatar n tn My tonsils are a little swollen and a little sore, with some minor white flecks. The glands on the side of my next are just slightly swollen, but not really sore. Also, I've been somewhat congested lately, but I have no other symptoms of illness/cold/allergies. I'm pretty sure this is directly related to the stressful situation I've been in, so basically I'm just trying to figure out what treatment I should seek. I've been gargling and wiping down the tonsils.
Avatar f tn Allergic reaction of some sort?? im 12 so i dont know what this could mean but its just an idea! hope i helped!
Avatar n tn I have never had that in my life and I am a healthy 39 year old woman. Also now my salivary glands are swollen on BOTH sides so I feel that must eliminate the theory of a blockage now. Would both sides swell if only one side was truly blocked or had a stone? They are the parotid glands that are swollen and mostly there is no pain only occasional pain. The CBC came out fine so now we did another CBC again and a few more tests, like thyroid function. I don't have those results in yet.
Avatar n tn On the underside of my tongue, there are two very small 1/4" flaps of skin about halfway back that sort of hang down. I saw someone mention below that he had those, and he wondered if they were abnormal, so I guess not everyone has them, but... one of mine seems to be infected somehow. I don't even know how to describe what it is if you don't know what I mean, but it hurts like a canker sore, and it's red, and for as small as it is, it's packing a punch.
1303942 tn?1273060781 on sunday morning i woke up to a sore throat and swollen gums around the front of my bottom teeth, my tounge is also sore and its sore underneath my tongue, i had a look this morning in the mirror and i noticed tiny white spots on the tip of my tongue, but my tongue just feels weird, i cant really describe it, but it hurts, i have been to the doctors but he didn't seem to know what it was so he prescribed me antibiotics, vk penacillian.

Avatar m tn noticed inflammed, swollen/irritated papillae under tongue (both sides of tongue and also under front of tongue also). Salivary glands swollen. Not resolving ... getting chills every so often ... feeling cold every so often also ... trying to see an ENT ..they are so busy in Canada ... approx 2 months to see one .... Help !!!
Avatar n tn When she touches it, it prickles, like there should be an open cut there. There are swollen bumps on the highest part of her cheek bone. Her glands, ear, tongue, and lip hurt the worst after eating or drinking. Any idea what could be causing this?
Avatar f tn I present no symptoms such as swollen glands, head or body aches, sweats. Butsince yesterday, I have had a small spot on my tongue. It is painless and almost looks like geographic tongue. I have been experiencing a metallic taste in my mouth and heartburn. I think it is stress related. I also have been brushing my tongue with my toothbrush. Is it possible that my stress is causing this? Or brushing my tongue? My exposure was 30 to 60 seconds at most.
Avatar m tn I woke up today with painful swollen glands on the right side of my neck. Tonight, I can also feel it in my ear, along with the back right side of my tongue. The pain in the glands is so sore, painful to the touch. My ear and tongue are nowhere near as painful. Any ideas or clues? I appreciate any responses :) I am new to this site and the forums, and will fill in my profile soon!
Avatar m tn Hi, I just wanted to know if there was a significant risk of acquiring hsv-2 from performing cunnilingus on a Colombian SW with a cut on my tongue? The exposure lasted for less than 5 minutes, but after it was over, I remembered that I had a small cut on one of my taste buds from vigorously brushing my tongue a day or two before. I didn't remember this cut until I went home, brushed my tongue again, and made the cut a little bigger.
Avatar m tn since, i have swollen glands which has lasted 2 weeks no fever or diarrea or vommiting or nausea but i have a sore throat and a slight cough. I also have white coating on the back of my tongue. I have a discomfort in my penis but it only happens when i am thinking about having hiv. I have no pian when i am urinating or any discharge but have been frequently urinating. i have been having a faster heartbeat than usual and somtimes have pins and needles. I have also been struggling to sleep.
