Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query movable lumps in floor of mouth could be due to stone in salivary ducts which open near floor of mouth such as submandibular gland. Such stone blocks saliva flow and causes pain especially when swallowing. Infection in surrounding areas of tooth could be the cause for this. I would suggest you to consult dentist or laryngologist with this issue. In case of stone, simple incision can help. In case of tooth infection root canal treatment is recommended. Chew on citrus substances. Do warm saline gargles.

Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
