Suggest Treatment For White Bump On Frenulum

Hello, I have a white bump ( like a inflamed tastebud would look like) that's on my frenulum right at the base of tongue where it connects. And right below that on my frenulum it seems to be a little swollen on both sides but it's red in color. What could this be??

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...

As per your complain a white bump on the frenulum of the base of tongue that is lingual frenulum seems to be a traumatic ulcer caused by injury with some hard food or burning with some hot food and the redness and swelling is due to inflammation..
It can also be a canker sore..
Other cause can be an inflamed minor salivary gland or obstructed duct of minor salivary gland..
Nothing to worry, in case if there is pain apply a numbing gel containing Lignocaine..
Do warm saline gargles..
Avoid hot, spicy and hard foods.
Sucking ice pops can help..
It will resolve in a week or even less and there is nothing serious..

In case if it does not improve consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards..
