Suggest Treatment For Puffiness And Constant Pain Under Tongue

I am 28 year old female experiencing a feeling of puffiness around my chin/jawbone (maybe swollen glands) and a feeling of puffiness under the tongue. No are no hard lumps or anything. There is also a constant dull achy pain. It started yesterday night, and I also have a dry throat and feel like I need to constantly be drinking something.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have puffiness and constant pain under tongue which could be due to many reasons like foreign body granuloma, squamous Papilloma , glossitis , benign lump of the muscles, transient Lingual Papillitis . It seems that you have enlargement of papillae. It could be due to traumatic injury , hot and acidic food and allergic reaction from certain food like nuts and sea foods . I would suggest you to consult oral pathologist/ dental surgeon for proper examination . Doctor will examine and rule out proper diagnosis. This can be make sure only by a clinical examination, FNAC or Excision biopsy. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics , anti inflammatory or vitamin B 12 supplement . Do warm saline rinses several times a day and maintain proper oral hygiene. Drink water to maintain hydration of body. Apply dologel on finger and rub over the area to prevent soreness.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Dr. Harry Maheshwari
