What Causes Bump Under Toungue?

My mouth has been sore for about a week now. I went to the doctor and he said it might be allergies. A clear bump formed under my tongue which he called a mucus...something. Now my bottom lip is very sore and inside it is oozing a clear liquid. I can pull down my bottom lip and dry it off and see the little droplets reappear. I don t understand.

Hi, thanks for sharing your health concerns with HCM!
If I were your treating Doctor for this case of recurrent mouth bumps, I would come up with three possibilities, these include:
1.     mucus retention cyst or mucocele
2.     The second possibility is of viral infection like Herpes or aphthous ulcers     
3.     vesicular lesions like blisters or some abscesses filled with thin pus!

Overall, it is inflammatory or benign and not worry about this!

I suggest you not to take hot/spicy foods and never rub them; and take povidone-iodine mouth gargle; wait for 1/2 days; if not relieved please don't forget to write to us again...then you have to do FNAC/microscopic examination for confirmation!

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you good health.
