Hello, Thank you for consulting with HCM.
Actually the type of veins you are describing below the tongue , it looks that it is a normal appearance of the tongue, there is no need to worry for this.
But if it is painful then you need to take care of it and consult a dentist.
The raised bump you are mentioning on the lower gums can be because of infection in the lower tooth, as it might be an abscess.
Better you visit the dentist and get an x-ray done of the tooth to get it confirmed.
Thank you
Regards
