Hi,Dear ,thanks for the query to HCM.I studied your query indepth and I feel concerned about it .In my opinion-its the -Sublingual Adenitis with infected sub-mental lymph node.It is due to the physical handling of the floor of mouth, which has caused obstruction of the sublingual gland duct,which cause huge lump below the toungue.Pls do -consult a Surgeon or Oral-surgeon.Tb NSAIDs, and antibiotic would resolve the infection and sub-mental lymphadenitis.Removal of the ductal obstruction / or sublingual-sialeadenectomy -would relieve the sublingual adenitis for ever.Hope This would solve your query.Wellcome again for any more query.
