A member asked:
Is it normal to feel like there is a lump on your tongue if you have candida?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Candida: Yes, because candida is an infection it can cause swelling of your tongue and more specifically the lymphoid tissue on the back of the tongue that act like lymph nodes. It should subside after the infection resolves.
