Swollen Ulcerated Area Under The Tongue, Dark Sore Jaw. Reason?

Hi,

Thanks for asking the query,

Swollen ulcerated area beneath the tongue can be ulcerations, cystic swelling, salivary gland swelling,cystic lesions, ranula, or some kind of infections arrising from the adjacent tooth or jaw bone.

I would suggest you to visit a Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon and get a clinical evaluation done.
Take an OPG x-ray , which will give the periapical condition.
You can undergo Biopsy of the lesion.

Meanwhile go for symtomatic treatment with warm saline gargles, use antiseptic mouthwash gargles twice daily, maintain a good oral hygiene, avoid eating of hot and spicy food stuffs.

Hope this helps out.

Regards..

Dear friend.

Thanks for sharing your concern.

your history suggests that you have developed ulceration and pigmentation on under side of your tongue and gums.

here i would suggest you to visit your dentist as soon as possible,get a biopsy done for the lesion under the tongue.

Also if you have any jagged tooth it is better to get that treated at this stage only.
wait for your biopsy results.

meanwhile follow very good oral hygiene measures as it appears that you have gingivitis too.

if possible, it is better to get cleaning done(scaling).

please start with vitamin B FOR 15 days.

Later on after exact diagnosis treatment modalities can be planned.

hope it helps.

take care.
thanks
