How To Cure Redness And Swelling Under The Tongue?
Under my tongue there seems to be extra tissue on either side of the skin that connects my tongue to the bottom of my mouth. Its red swollen and sore. Somethingsmake it burn. If I stick my tongue out the "extra skin" can touch my bottom teeth. The only way to describe what it looks like is basically comparing it to the inner lips of a vagina. I can actually move the skin back and fourth when I touch it. I have no other symptoms. Nothing has changed in my diet. It started getting irritating yesterday and today is when I noticed what it actually looked like. What could it be?

Hi,
Thanks for posting the query,
I would suggest you to get a thorough checkup done by an Oral Surgeon, this could be due to prolonged irritation by an applaince or a broken tooth piece, also could be a beningn growth, at home take lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouthwash rinses.
Take care!
