Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you have lump under tongue. The symptoms you mention in query can occur due to many reasons like traumatic fibrous, papilloma, lingual thyroid, lingual manual which is a cystic swelling, or transient Lingual Capsulitis. It could be due to allergic reaction to certain food substances. I would suggest you to consult oral pathologist for proper examination. Doctor will examine carefully and will make proper diagnosis and start treatment accordingly.  Doctor may prescribe antibiotics, anti-inflammatory or vitamin B 12 supplements. Go for FNAC or Excision biopsy as prescribed by doctor. Doctor may prescribe MRI for further investigation.  For now do warm saline rinses several times a day and maintain proper oral hygiene. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,
