Question:

my mother has some kind swelling under her tounge, causing a burning sensation and its more like a round ball. what is the problem and how can it be treated.

thanks

Answer:

It would be impossible to say what this could represent based on the description. Your mother should be evaluated by an oral surgeon or an oral pathologist.
