Hi.
This has to be taken seriously unless confirmed by consultation with ENT and endoscopy.
This is because, such types of lumps can be dangerous to life as they ca n cause obstruction to the airway and swallowing too.
This is already painful. You need to see an ENT and get appropriate diagnosis and treatment
The possibility of lingual thyroid has to be taken in mind.
I find this answer helpful
