Bump

by Lindsey000, Sep 12, 2008 04:23PM
I was sitting in my algebra 2 class today after lunch and all of the sudden  underneath my tounge got really tight. It felt kinda like something was being pushed through the veins that connect (it hurt really bad)...well i grabbed my mirror out of my purse to see what it could be and i noticed a small white bump on my frenulum. I thought that this could be an allergic reaction so I checked my glands and noticed that one of them was swolen. I looked in the mirror and it looked like a small grape was inserted into it. It didn't hurt when i pushed on it and the bump inside my mouth didn't hurt when I touched it with my tongue. I also noticed that one of the vines that are at the bottom of the mouth were puffy and red. The bell eventually rang, and in the next hour class  my tounge got tight again but the small white bump on my frenulum popped on it's own. The next thing i felt was that my mouth was being filled with saliva, and the bump on my gland was dissappearing.
Is this mucoceles, and will it occur again?

Your description is more consistent with sialolithiasis, salivary duct stone," If the stone is washed out by itself, it rarely recurs. If the stone remains in the salivary gland duct, it generaaly recurs while eating. Seeing an oral surgeon is advised.
