What Could An Enlarged Gland, A Red And Pointed Skin Flap Below Tongue With White Head Indicate?

I have enlarged gland under by jaw on the left side. I've been on antibiotics for suspected tooth absess although x-ray was inconclusive. I also have large skin flap that has appeared on underside of my tongue also on the left side. It is red and pointed and seems to have a white head on it. Could it be symptoms of a saliva stone?
