Suggest Treatment For Hard Lump On Tongue
Question: I have ehat looks like a little thickening of the skin on the bottom side of my tongue. Looks thicker than other side. I attached picture but it is hard to see. Its on the far backside of tongue when i flip my tongue over. Something to be concerned about?
Brief Answer:
There is no reason to be concerned after reviewing these images!
Detailed Answer:
HI and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this little thickening that you have reported. I have reviewed both images fully and honestly there is nothing abnormal on the tongue. The description of minimal thickening in itself makes it less likely to be something of concern. I believe your attention to details might have actually gotten you to this point. I will suggest that you go ahead and monitor only. Unless there are symptoms associated with this or something else comes up, there is no reason to be worried at this time.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Above all, thanks for using our services.

Ok. The only reason i noticed it is because i was having a little bit of a sore throat amd post nasal drip on that side. When looking at my throat is when i noticed the thicker spot.
Brief Answer:
Monitor only for now!
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Monitor only for now. There is really no reason to panic about this. Put an eye on it and report any changes to me. However, this should disappear before you know.
