There are many reasons that lead to the growth of a lump under the tongue, such as sublingual inflammatory hyperplasia, small salivary gland cysts at the floor of the mouth, sublingual gland cysts and so on.
1. Inflammatory hyperplasia under the tongue: accidentally biting through the soft tissue under the tongue or injury to the soft tissue under the tongue will lead to local inflammatory reaction, forming the proliferation of granulation tissue and the appearance of lumps under the tongue.
2. Salivary gland cysts at the base of the mouth: the stimulation of inflammation will affect the function of the salivary glands at the base of the mouth, leading to the blockage of the salivary ducts, which in turn will form the salivary gland cysts and make the sublingual pimples appear.
3. Sublingual gland cysts: When the secretion of the duct of the sublingual gland located under the tongue is blocked or the secretion of fluid is overflowed, it will produce small lumps locally under the tongue and cause pain and other uncomfortable symptoms.
When there are lumps under the tongue, there may be other causes, so pay attention to it and go to the hospital in time for treatment.
