swollen bump

swollen bump

I bit my tongue the other day and the pain never went away. A couple days later I noticed there was a big swollen bump under my tongue causing me severe pain when I try to eat, talk, etc. I'm sure it's some kind of cyst but I'm wondering what I should do to treat it or if I can pop it at home instead of paying a lot of money to have it removed.

Hi,
I wouldn't try any self treatment.  It's possibly an abscess and popping it can matters much worse.
You may only need antibiotics, but whatever, you do need to seek a dentist's help.
Please make an appt. ASAP.

My best to you,
Gellia
