pimple/blister @ the floor of my mouth?
2 days ago, I noticed something at the floor of my mouth, under my tongue, its like a pimple(because there's a small white at the top, that's why I thought it's a pimple), about 2mm with fluid inside so I used to play it with my tongue, but today, I noticed that the liquid became a solid ..I don't know what it is. It is painless from the first day that's why I am not bothered about it, but now I'm beginning to get worried about it. The tip now is white and slightly rough when I feel it with my tongue.
I am a dental/prophy technician and this could be several things one of which is a blocked gland. You have a salivary gland under your tongue, two actually. There are minerals in your saliva, so it could be that. The tissue in your mouth is very sensitive. It may also be something more serious, so do consult your dentist, if it is something more serious you may avoid a medical doctor refering you to the dentist and then having the dentist refer you to specialist. You can just avoid the touble by seeing someone who looks at the human mouth all day.
You need to see the doctor asap. It is most likely some sort of an infection, but it could be caused by a virus, perhaps herpes. I'm not sure what it is, but you have to get it looked at, you probably need some antibotics. I'd also make sure they take cultures and a biospy on it also.
