i went to the dentist last year and under my tongue looks like i have (and he said) i had a bone deformity because it looks like jagged bones growing out from my gums. but my jaw muscles have been really tight and my tongue has been swollen. i massaged my inside muscles and they began to go down, i started massaging my swollen gums.. and i felt fluid go down my throat. alot of it. i felt the tissue getting smaller and my tongue too. i decided to catch some of the fluid in a glass. it was clear with some type of white stuff in it. my nose has been running clear for a week, and my ears hurt terribly. my glands are swollen, the inside of my cheeks and all the way to my cheek bones. when i squeezed my tongue, i could feel the "extra" tissue from the swelling where the fluid had left. what should i do?
