Polyps under the tongue are mostly proliferative diseases. The same is true for long polyps in the oral mucosa. Due to various chronic inflammations or physical and chemical factors that stimulate local hyperplasia in the human body, small local tumors can be formed, accompanied by pain. The pain worsens after eating, affecting the life of the symptoms.

The swelling under the tongue is like a bag, gradually increasing in size, with a smooth surface, light yellow color, softness when pressed, and a sense of fluctuation. It is generally painless. If the swelling is severe, there will be a feeling of distension and pain, and the movement of the tongue will be affected, which will hinder speaking and eating. If it is invaded by evil heat, it will be light red and swollen and hard. The nodule may occasionally rupture on its own, or be pricked with the tip of a knife, then yellowish-white mucus like egg white will flow out. The nodule may temporarily shrink or disappear, but will soon swell again.
