A member asked:
Should there be a long lump on the back of my tongue or where i swallow?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Some lumps are perfectly normal on the back of the tongue (tastebuds) and some are variations of normal. Some are the result of trauma and some arise from neoplastic events. The best way to determine what your lumps are is to get an exam from a dentist and go from there.
