Could Sore Lump Under Tongue Be Just The Diagnosed Calcium Blocked Duct?
I am 52 years old, femaiI have a lump under my tongue 2cm long on left side of my mouth, my GP advised it is a calcium blocked duct , so I need to have an ex ray, see a specialist and then have an operation to have it cleared and removed, it feels a little bit sore, my GP advised not a cancer growth, also I can feel a little bit sore when I touch my face under my jaw pushing up with my finger upwards to where the lump is, is this a common thing, I am a little overweight 110 stone & am 5foot 9 incessant tall & I had a hip resurfacing operation in 2006, thus the wait gain. I do eat cheese, yogurt to make sure I have enough calcium.

HI.
Yes, the diagnosis of stone is a common thing in this area.; cancers very very rare.
Eating extra calcium has nothing to do with this calcium stone.
Many times - one can feel or role the stone on direct palpation.
Please go ahead as per your Doctor's advise.; if the stone is in front area this may be a very small surgery.
