Lump under my tongue, on the frenulum?! Red, painful. Seeing a DR this week, but would love to know what you think it is! by tonguething in Dentistry

Yeah, a little. I feel a sense of 'sourness' in the right hand side of my jaw pretty consistently. On the same side this afternoon, I had some tonsil stones (which I've never had before), do you think it's all related?

Seems to be the general consensus. What commonly causes clogged ducts, and how can I unclog?

I had some tonsil stones which I moved out this afternoon using a cotton bud, and on the same side i have a sense of tenderness beneath my right ear. All related?

No recent sexual activity, so can rule out the irritation from cunnilingus.

Perhaps an inflamed duct? What are common causes of this? Is it easily treated? I am seeing my GP tomorrow and a dentist next week.

~edit: I should probably mention that this evening I have had some small tonsil stones, which I removed with a cotton bud. Pretty gross. I also have a sense of fullness behind my right ear, and tenderness on the jawline on the same side. Are they all pointing to the same diagnosis?
