Hi,

Welcome to HCM,

I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.


pain behind the tongue could be due to lingual tonsil or some extending infection from throat or from esophagus.


you need laryngoscopy procedure to see the depth and extent of infection, for that you need to visit an ent surgeon.

kindly evaluate.

all the best, take care.
