I have swelling on the one side under my tongue?

See Dentist: Most likely is blocked salivary duct. See your Dentist or Oral Surgeon. May clear up on its own or require a little help. Good Luck

A few thoughts...: A swelling under the tongue could be dangerous... if it rapidly expands, it can block your airway and cause asphyxiation. How long have you had it? How old are you? Do you have any teeth? Do you smoke? Answers to these questions could give some insight to an answer... lacking any information whatsoever, best bet is for you to see a local oral surgeon.

Examination needed: Any pain, bleeding, or as in your case swelling, should be evaluated. Please see your General Dentist to determine cause, and thus appropriate treatment. Could be blocked salivary duct, tooth or gum infection, neoplasm, result of trauma, etc. Referral to Oral Surgeon may be in order. Please call your Dentist now.

See your DDS: There are several reasons that may be responsible for such swelling under the tongue and visit to your dentist for evaluation is warranted.
