Herpes simplex virus: Cold sores, sometimes called fever blisters are groups of small blisters on the lip and around the mouth, but can also appear as clusters in other areas inside mouth ( roof mouth, gum..). The blisters may break open, leak a clear fluid, and then scab over after a few days. They usually heal in several days to 2 weeks. Just to confirm and be sure see a dentist next time they appear.

Question 5

following a real bad toothache, came this lump that feels really big but i can't see it. it's under my tongue in the same spot i had the toothache. it's hurts really bad. can you tell me what that is?

Accepted Answer

Worrisome: My first concern is that you have an abscess and that's dangerous, painful, and must be drained. If your tooth was removed, you may have a pocket of blood. That hurts but isn't dangerous. One way or the other, you need to see an oral surgeon or dentist ASAP for an accurate diagnosis and pain relief.

Question 6

under my tongue (duct submandibular gland) i believe it is. there is a tiny blister like, it doesn't hurt or anything. i burst it it cam back. std? or?

Call your dentist: Have your dentist check for stones in the duct. Sometimes you need to have an oral surgeon remove them if they don't go away on their own.
