Hello, I'm a 22 years old guy

Monday I woke up with a strong pain on the side of my tongue, when I touched it I felt a strong pain and a lump, but in the mirror there were nothing visible Tuesday the area was covered with a small white patch, I went to the ENT thus day and he gave me anti fungal medication for 2 weeks

Today the pain and the white patch were almost gone, but I still have the lump, I fell it on the outside of the tongue but I can't see it

Do you think if the lump will go on its own? I'm hypochondriac and really afraid of cancer

None of my friends never had this issue and it's very frustrating to be the only one who face this

the saying around here is this: it's not cancer until it's diagnosed as cancer. Give it time. I've had some scary lumps in my lymph nodes. Doc said the the more you touch it or mess with it, the longer it will be around. Was so true! went away and really was nothing. If it's still around in a couple of weeks, then I would look for a different medical opinion.

Thank you for your reply, i've finally contacted my ent and insisted for a biopsy,he accepted, i"ll see him monday

UPDATE : I see my ENT today, he told me its a salivary gland ,he touched the lesion 3 times to be sure
the lesion was under the tongue, very close to the floor, when i move my tongue, the lump move too
there were no leukoplia or anything suspicious ( bleeding or pain )

I"m a little reassured but i still didnt get any biopsy but i think i should listen to my ent

in 2weeks i"ll see my dentist who is an oral surgeon, i'll will talk to him about that

do you think i should stop worrying ?

I"m really sorry to bother this forum with my problem , most of people here are really dealing with this horrible disease,

What a relief! I think that your worry was valid but you should find a way to take away the worry as you are trusting your ENT.
