How To Treat Painful Outgrowths On Tongue Vein?
Hi, from maybe a week or more ago, i have had a couple of small lumps under my tongue. I think it started with the two thick veins on the bottom sides of my tongue becoming red and swollen. Now there seems to be a red sack like things growing on both the veins. Its quite painful. What could be the cause of this?
thank you

Hello
It is unlikely that the growths are from the veins, rather they may be from minor salivary glands under your tongue.
you may need antibiotics and hexidine mouth wash, please meet your ent doctor for examination and advice.
