thanks for your query. i have gone through your query. the swelling below the tongue could be because of the obstruction of the salivary gland duct opening consult your oral physician and get a occlusal radiograph done to rule out any stones in the salivary gland duct. the white patch could be because of the chronic irritation or leukoplakia or lichen planus. if there is a stone get it removed surgically. i hope my answer will help you. take care.
