The area below my tongue hurts, but only on the left side. what could be the possible cause? it's been hurting for a few days. it's a sharp pain.

Could be...: ...traumatic lesion, scratch, cut, blocked salivary duct, or one of dozens of other causes. If you smoke or abuse alcohol the problem may be even more serious. You need to be physically examined, palpated, and possibly x-rayed. Please see your Dentist or an Oral Surgeon.
