Brief Answer:
Frictional Keratosis

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXX .

Thanks for consulting Heathcare magic .
This is Dr. Priyanka tiwari answering your query .

Read your quey and gone through reports (images) you had attached . Slight swelling and inflamation on side of tongue can be due due to chronic irritation on sharp cusps of posterior (molar) teeth resulting in Frictional keratosis .

For this you dont have to be worried so much you have to consult oral surgeon and gone through treatment rounding of sharp cusps. Inmeantime I will suggest you to apply ointment like Mucopain or Dologel on tongue and Do warm saline rinses 2 - 3 times a day .

Hope I have answered your query .
If you have further query I will be happy to help.

Brief Answer:
Mucocele

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXX

Welcome again

Read your query, little bump behind lip it may be just Mucocele . It happens when there is just trauma in minor salivary glands present in oral cavity . Mucocele is painless swelling often showing up on inside lower lip , gums , roof of the mouth , under your tongue .

There is nothing to be worried I will suggest you it will heal up in few days . If it hurts you can apply anesthetic ointment like Mugel or Mucopain for one week .

Do warm saline rinses 2 - 3 times a day . Maintain good oral hygiene .

Hope I have answered your query .
If you have further query I will be happy to help.
