Hopefully the lump on your tongue should subside so I do not see any reason to be worried. However, I would advice to keep an eye and do not wait to see a doctor as long as you did first time, if something suspicious comes up. Have you got your thyroid results? Hoping that to be clear too.
All the best and take good care of your health.
