Question 1

what is it? it's a bubble inside my mouth that has a spot of white with clear fluid surrounding it. it's on my upper cheek and i'm concerned

Accepted Answer

How long?: Are you certain that this hasn't always been in your mouth. It may be the duct to your parotid salivary gland in your cheek. It normally sits on the cheek next to the first molar. If so, it is normal anatomy, however I have had many patients "discovery" it. If it is new, is it possible that you recently bit your cheek? Sometimes sores in the mouth have a white coating on top.

Question 2

i have a clear bubble on the top of my mouth near my uvula , there is pain and it hurts when i swallow what could it be?

Accepted Answer

Bump in the throat: How long it has been there? Do you have fever? If it has been there for more than 7-10 days you should see your doctor. It could be strep throat or mononucleosis.

Question 3

i have had a very small clear bubble inside my lower lip. it will not go away using saltwater rinses or special mouth sore mouthwash. it doesn't hurt at all but bugs me. what could it be?

Accepted Answer

Small bubble: It may be a mucocele. Occurs when the duct of a minor salivary gland besoms blocked. See an Oral Surgeon for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Question 4

my breast feeding 3 1/2 mo  baby has increased clear colourless saliva, sometimes with bubbles. no thrush in his mouth (checked by dr).reasons? thanks

Accepted Answer

Spit up or drooling?: Spit up and drooling are common in babies. Spit up is caused by mild GE reflux. Drooling is caused by excessive salivation which accompanies early stages of teething. Both are insignificant if the baby is gaining weight and if there is no breathing problem

Question 5

hi i have a small clear bubble thats mildly annoying on the inside of my mouth just under my bottom teeth on the lower gums. i believe its a clogged salivary gland or something but any ideas? is it possibly something to be concerned about? thanks?

Accepted Answer

: This sounds like a mucocele -- as you suggest yourself, a blocked gland. Entirely harmless. Google it to see photos.

Question 6

what should be done for a clear bubble under my tongue?

Accepted Answer

Clear bubble: This  is caused by an obsructed salivary gland , usually poping the "bubble" will remedy the situation.

Question 7

i have had a clear bubble under my tongue for about 4 weeks on and off. recently it became very big and this morning i took a look at it is purple ?

Accepted Answer

Dental visit: sounds like a possible hematoma without seeing it visually.  You should have it looked at

Question 8

what is a clear bubble under my daughter's tongue?

Accepted Answer

Likely a mucocoel: The glands that create our mouth mucous are located in the inner linings of the mouth.It is likely any cystic structure you see is one that may be enlarged because its draining pathway was  broken up by the mechanical action within the mouth.If it  seems uncomfortable, let your kids doc evaluate it & decide if a visit with an ENT is warranted.These can need opening & drainage.

Question 9

i have a clear bubble under my tongue. i have popped it a few times. sometimes it's blood and other times it's pus or something clear.

Accepted Answer

Ranula: Sounds like the description of a ranula or mucous retention cyst where you can have an obstruction of the duct that allows saliva to flow into the mouth.  The repeated popping with blood and occasional pus most likely is from the repeated trauma and possible infection.  A dental evaluation would be recommended.

Question 10

about a week ago, a small clear bubble formed in my upper lip and i'm wondering what i can do to remove it and what it is?

Accepted Answer

Blister.: It is difficult to know what this is exactly without personally seeing it.  It seems like you are describing a blister of some sort.  Is it inflamed at the borders, painful, oozing?  This can also be an infection.  You should have a physician examine it and take a detailed history including any possible sexual or close personal contacts.  Hope this helps
