i have a lump inside of my tongue that has doubled in size in the last day and my tongue is now so swollen it is pressing against my teeth and is numb on the end. It is painful to touch the lump and swallow. What could this be?  My husband is military, and base offices are closed. Do I need to see a doctor right away?
Hello, thank you for consulting with Chat Doctor. There can be many reasons for this lump inside the tongue.-first it can be possible that you had a trauma earlier on the tongue and now the lump appeared, it is called as myogenic granuloma.-second it can be possible that it is a tumor called as granular cell tumor.-third it can be possible that because of some infected tooth the infection is spreading to the tongue. But to get confirmation of diagnosis you have to visit a good dentist and get complete examination done, as it will clear the condition. Hope it will help you.
