It's been about 5 or so days now that I've been having burning pain on the underside of my tongue, closer to the bottom of my mouth. Sometimes the pain isn't present until I move the tongue, or cause any pressure (drinking out of a straw, for example). Also, it sometimes goes away, then comes back with increasing pain.
There's nothing visibly wrong, but I'm no expert and the area under the tongue is full of lumps and random stuff, so I wouldn't know any better. Using mouthwash numbs the pain for a little while.
A few details about my lifestyle/habits:
20 years old.
I've been using spitting tobacco/snuff for about two years now. Just about 15 grams every 2 days. Not an excessive amount, but hey, tobacco is tobacco.
Don't smoke, but I do occasionally have a cigar.
Don't drink.
Never had symptoms like this before.
Not sure what other information I can provide...I plan on dropping by the clinic as soon as they're open, but would like to know what I might be dealing with before hand.
Thanks for any information you could give me.
