For the past three or four days, I ve noticed a pea size solid lump inside the tip of my tongue. I started noticing it because of the pain. I am now at a point we re it hurts very bad if my tongue touches anything(teeth, gums...). And if I squeeze it, it s even worst. The pain is getting bad enough that I m considering the ER. Mi dad had a cancerous tumor in his throat a years ago. Should I be worried? Should I go to the ER?
HI, Dear, Thanks for the query from you for your painful solid-lump on tip inside tongue.1-I am happy that you are serious to know why this tongue -lump is getting more painful in last 4 days?2-In my opinion this lump at the inside of your tongue, is non-cancerous and is more painful due to the repetitive teeth handling from you, though unknowingly.3-In my opinion-possibility of infection with repeat trauma is causing it hard and painful.4-I would advise Surgeons checkup, Who would do the FNAC only if it does not respond to NSAIDs and antibiotics SOS. If treated on this line, the fear of your fathers throat-cancerous history, should not worry you much.5-Hope this would solve your worry of the painful tongue lump.6-So ugly take -the advice from the ER Surgeon.7-Wellcome to Chat Doctor for any more query.
