What Cause Lump Inside The Tongue With Sore Throat?

One week ago i noticed a pea sized lump inside my tongue (no sores on top or bottom) about 1/2 inch from the tip and just off to the right side. I am a 30 year old nonsmoker, nondrinker in good health (except a minor cold 2 weeks ago). I do occasionally wake up with a sore throat. what could this be?

Hi.
The lump in throat and the tongue are not related to each other..
The lump in the tongue can be a granuloma. This may get relieved with a course of an antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicines.
If the problem is not relieved within 7 days, please consult an ENT Surgeon to see for a probable diagnosis and treatment.

Now-a-days the newer MRI are better to show the probable diagnosis of a lesion in tongue ( ask them if they have a facility and software)
Cancers do not grow so fast.
If there is a suspicion go for an FNAC and if required biopsy.
I find this answer helpful
