“Why the bump on my tongue won't go away? ”
6 months ago I experienced severe discomfort on my tongue, to the point where I couldn't even eat, which lasted over a week until it completely healed. Prior to that, the only food I ate for dinner the night before was crab, which I had never eaten before. As far as I can tell. It was reddish and swollen next to my tongue, more precisely on both sides of my lingual tonsil. After the pain subsided, I thought it was over, but I discovered that a cyst-like tissue bump had formed there. It was not painful, but it has remained for months and will not go away. I'm very concerned about it.

Could be a papilloma, could be a mucocele... the lingual tonsil is at the back of the tongue and can't be seen through the front of the mouth. I would have it biopsied by an ENT. you could try to treat it with a topical steroid gel for a while. Clobetasol.
