Your tongue may offer up clues about surprising conditions -- including hypothyroidism and certain infections.
Under the tongue is a common spot for canker sores -- small, painful, reddish bumps that come and go on their own.
A single, painful bump at the tip could be transient lingual papillitis, “lie bumps,” which can pop up if your tongue gets irritated. A virus can also cause lots of little bumps on the tip and sides. If you have a lump on or under your tongue that hurts and doesn’t go away, let your doctor or dentist know. They’ll want to check you for oral cancer.
