Question:

I had a pea size lump come up in my toungue a couple of day ago it was sore at first. but is not now. I do smoke, so it scares me some. I have been being treated for an eye virus for about 6 months and one of the medications ia acyclovir which I started taking two months ago. Could this be caused by anything related to this.

Answer:

It is not possible to determine what this is by a description. If it does not resolve, then it should be evaluated by an ear, nose and throat physician or an oral surgeon.
