Swollen Lingual Frenulum, Soreness In Throat, Sinus Pressure Had Cold 2 Weeks Ago. Cause?

Hello, it seems that my lingual frenulum is swollen and a bit red. I had caught a cold about two weeks ago and most of those symptoms have cleared, except for the swollen frenulum and a tad bit of soreness in the throat and a tiny bit of sinus pressure. I also am experiencing a tiny bit of discomfort in the middle of my tongue, too. What do you think?

Hi, it appears to be the secondary bacterial infection of the buccal mucosa, from the frenulum to the throat secondary to the cold. You need not worry about the swelling, but has to be treated. So i advise you to consult an E.N.T.surgeon for diagnosis and treatment. Thank you.
