A member asked:
What if the sublingual gland is swollen but there is no pain and it has been enlarged for most of my life?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Get an exam: Sublingual gland or submandibular gland? I would recommend an exam by an ENT before telling you this is nothing. Something that has been there for years and nonchanged is likely nothing to be concerned about, but i would feel better having seen it first. The submandibular glands should feel about the same size and consistency on both sides. It is not normal to be able to see a sublingual gland.
