Is Pea Sized Lump Inside The Right Side Of Tongue Concerning?
My son has a pea size lump inside the right side of his tongue. Is that something to worry about? Does he need to see a doctor or some sort of specialist? Is there something he can try before he spends money he doesn t have? Plus he doesn t have insurance. Thank you! We are desperately seeking an answer!
