There's a swelling or cyst or growth under my tongue it just keeps getting bigger. It's been there over a year. First doctor said it was a mucocele 2nd doctor didn't say anything and refered me to a oral &maxillofacial surgeon. The surgeon didn't know what it was and refered me to an ENT, who said he THINKS my sublingual gland just sits higher on that side.

My question why the heck is it getting bigger!

    This could be a salivary calculi or stone, sometimes a ENT can get them out, if yours is getting bigger a surgeon will have to, you just got to fine the right one don't give up. good luck to you.
