One week ago i noticed a pea sized lump inside my tongue (no sores on top or bottom) about 1/2 inch from the tip and just off to the right side. I am a 30 year old nonsmoker, nondrinker in good health (except a minor cold 2 weeks ago). I do occasionally wake up with a sore throat. what could this be?
Hi. The lump in throat and the tongue are not related to each other. The lump in the tongue can be a granuloma. This may get relieved with a course of an antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicines. If the problem is not relieved within 7 days, please consult an ENT Surgeon to see for a probable diagnosis and treatment. Now-a-days the newer MRI are better to show the probable diagnosis of a lesion in tongue (ask them if they have a facility and software) Cancers do not grow so fast. If there is a suspicion go for an FNAC and if required biopsy.
