Question 5

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 6

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 7

my daughter has small red bubble underneath the tongue. what should we do?

Leave it alone: Sounds like a little fluid filled cyst.  Just leave it alone, it will drain on its own.  As long as there is no fever or overlying redness or tenderness, this will take care of itself.

Accepted Answer

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.
