What Causes Bump On Tongue?

Hi - I felt with my tongue that on the inside of the mouth near the lower corners of the lower part of my mouth there are a small bump on each side. Problem is on the left side the bump seems to be a little enlarged even though there is no pain. Could i have been softly biting that bump with my teeth while asleep?

Hello and thank you for your question.
Bumps in the mouth can be from infection, trauma or cancer. If these bumps are enlarging then see a doctor or dentist, especially if you use any form of tobacco. If you think it is just trauma from biting it in your sleep then it should go away in a week or so. If not see a doctor or dentist.
Regards
