Hello,

Thanks for consulting HCM,

Read your query , as you have swelling under tongue this can be due to swelling of submandibular or sublingual salivary gland this swelling can be due to inflammation or obstruction of salivary gland dont worry I will suggest you to consult oral surgeon and go for examination of gland and sialography investigations if needed to rule out the cause of swelling .

Hope this will help you.
