Regarding bump under tongue
I had this condition since 8 days . Earlier its size was large and was kinda filled with fluid..since then i have been gargling warm saline water .
Now it has reduced to something like i have marked in the picture..it feels more like a firm flesh now.. earlier it felt like a bubble..
It is symptomless.. i just keep touching it with my tongue all the time
Is it something to worry about as i am concerned that it could be cancer or something dangerous..
Please guide
Thank you in advance
