the bunps are not caused by depression meds. my boyfriend has one and he has never been on depression drugs. i think it is a tonsil stone but will have the doctor check it out anyway.

I never thought I would actually find anything online about this thing under my tongue. It's still very small but I can't help feeling it with my tongue and then I feel a bit queezy. Anyway, reading all your comments has had me crying with laughter, its nice to know we are not alone with our weird ailments. Happy squeezing chaps!

Okay, this is called a Ranula, it is a clogged salivary gland. I had one removed a couple of years ago. the ENT specialist says he does one of these surgeries about once a year. It's basically a freak accident, and food particles get into your salivary gland and clog the gland, making it swell up and once it gets bad enough it starts pussing. It's extremely painful, and makes you not want to talk or eat. When I finally went the doc said the cases he usually treats are much more severe than mine, because people think they just "go away" and they don't. you have to have them surgically removed. They will continue to get bigger and bigger to the point where you won't be able to talk because your tongue will be shoved to the roof of your mouth. When they're this big, your throat under neath swells up like a balloon because of the size pushing down.
Long story short, get this checked out by an Ear Nose and Throat specialist, PRONTO!! It's only going to get bigger and more painful. TRUST ME!

I have the exact same thing right now... I've never had anything like it before. It just looks like a white head poking out from underneath my tongue but before I saw the white head my left gland was extremely swollen and it hurt to swallow or eat anything. It's so annoying because the swelling of my gland has gone down completely but I can't stop playing with this bump under my tongue and it still hurts to eat anything. I tried taking the advice to squeeze it out but mine won't come out! The bump isn't very big at all yet but I'm wondering if I need to let it grow a bit so it's easier to find and to tweeze out... any advice??

I had one of these white pimple like things last year under my tounge and popped it with a sewing needle, I kept squeezing out the puss with my fingers for a few days and it finaly went away but then it came back this year and it was hard like a rock this time when I tried to poke it with needle The next mourning after poking it with needle when I woke up I felt a pebble like rock under my tounge so I guess it just fell out. It looks like a rice krispie except about 4x bigger. I didn't ever have any pain really but could just feel that it was there. When I looked under my toung in mirror I could see a small hole in that bumpy thing under tounge where the white thing was but no blood or pain or anything. Strange and creepy. I'm just glad it's gone.

The same thing just happened to me 2 hours ago. I was looking on the web for an answer n finally gave up and went to my dentist. What had happened, was right after I ate my tongue began bothering me i looked in the mirror and noticed a white little bump on my web. I immediately went to my dentist they told me that my gland had been blocked; possibly by food etc.. they told me the pain and tingling sensation was due to the saliva build up, a lady working reception told me i could use a needle and slightly try to wiggle it out, i co-wardered out n tried a single staple, after that didn't work i simply squeezed it, apply little pressure and it came right out, i fell perfectly normal n wish i didn't waste time going to the dentist but i wouldn't recommend someone not going, defiantly not.

I have the same problem. I looked around and no other websites really diagnosed this. Some doctor said a canker sore but that was bull c**p. It is just like a white head in my mouth. I tried to pop it but only got some of it out. It feels much better tho. I found that it felt better when I used Listerine if that means anything.
Thanks again.
Thanks again.

I had salivary gland clogged aprox. 6 months ago and thought it was getting better because when I ate I could feel only a slight sensation and not the big bump that came and went under my jaw when I ate, but recently I have developed pain back under and on the side of my tongue with terrible pain when I try to eat. It feels like my tongue muscle is too weak to swollow. I can feel minor discomfort in my ear canal and jaw. All the reports from everyone else seems like they do not stress the pain in the tongue and the difficulty in swollowing.

I had been dealing with this same problem for weeks. The gland would become enlarged when eating and I would notice a bump near the tip of it. I had also experienced similar problems with painful glands in the neck and pain caused by swallowing sour foods. It totally disappeared in seconds the other night after eating a salad with (Good Seasons) salad dressing I had made with olive oil and apple cider vinegar. This is not an ad for Good Seasons. I'm trying to figure out if it was the olive oil or the vinegar that made it disappear.

Hi I have a similar bump on the bottom of my tongue (near where it connects to the bottom of my mouth) I recently got my tongue pierced (Monday) so it's really hard to pop since it's right next the the bottom ball. But I can't stand the pain i get when i eat because the ball rubs against this glan stone. If anyone could give me advice that'd be great.
