Question 1

what causes a watery blister under the tongue?

Accepted Answer

Salivary Gland: A translucent watery blister under the tongue is most likely a mucous retention cyst, mucocele, or ranula which occurs when the duct of a salivary gland becomes occluded.  The gland continues to produce saliva and cannot empty into the mouth, resulting in a ballooning effect of the duct or gland depending on the location of the blockage.

Question 2

for a week, i have had a normal gum colored, pain-less sore under my tongue. it feels like a little protruding round sac and looks like a little blister. its more annoying then anything else because it causes me no discomfort.  what could this be?

Accepted Answer

Hard to say: It could be a cyst or an abscess , a lesion of some sort....your description of a bump or sore is vague. How long did you have it? Is it growing ? Etc.. Best to have a dentist take a look, the sooner the better. Good luck and stay safe.

Question 3

i have a huge mouth blister under the tongue?

Accepted Answer

Ok: How long has it been there? Any habits like smoking or chewing tobacco? Is it actually an ulcer or a blister?  Condition of your teeth? The answers to these questions will help your local dentist or physician make a proper diagnosis. Give either of them a call for an appointment.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Blister: Most probably mucocele or blocked salivary gland duct.  But literally dozens of other possibilities. You know what to do, call your Dentist to schedule an examination.

Question 5

i get these little clear blisters/bubbles under my tongue all the time and they hurt... i'm kind of scared for what they could be...

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.

Question 6

i have a white spot under my tongue and it hurts. is this a blister?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: There are a variety of causes of sores and discoloration of areas of the mouth.  They range from aphthous ulcers to cancer.  See you dentist or primary care doctor.

Question 7

i have bumps under my tongue that are not painful or itchy. almost look like blisters. can you tell me what they are?

Accepted Answer

Bumps: It is impossible to tell you what these bumps are without seeing them. Do you have pain? How long have they been present? See a dentist or oral surgeon for an evaluation. This is the way to get answers.

Question 8

i have a blister under my tongue it fills with fluid then bursts, is it a gland , .it is like a vein

Accepted Answer

It : It could be a salivary duct which is blocked. If it were a vein you would be bleeding. Since you did not mention any blood, ii do not believe it would be a vein.

Question 9

under my tongue behind  the teeth on the string like things when you lift tongue up i got a blister thing on it that flops around what could it be?

Accepted Answer

Frenum: The frenulum of tongue or tongue web (also lingual frenulum or frenulum linguæ) is a small fold of mucous membrane extending from the floor of the mouth to the midline of the underside of the tongue.  It can be accidentally cut or blistered, and may keep the tongue from fully extending outward.

Question 10

hi, i have crohn's disease. i have got 2 huge blisters and 3 lumps growing under my tongue on the floor of my mouth. is this related to crohn's or not?

Accepted Answer

Could be: Some crohns patients can get crohns related ulcers in their mouth. They tend to get them during a flare, not when everything is going well. However you may have a viral infection causing this. So if u are flaring, call your gi. If not, go see your pcp for further guidance.
