Hello,
Thanks for writing to us.
Large mass under tongue can be-
Ulceration.
Tumorous growth.
Cyst.
Abscess.
I would advice you to get a thorough clinical as well as radiological evaluation including biopsy of the lump to diagnose the problem.
Treatment can be planned based on the diagnosis.
Pus or fluid within the lump has to be drained.
Take complete course of medicines prescribed.
Maintain oral hygiene well.
Take care.
