tounge and throat swelling
Sent to Health Experts September 25 07:35 PM

i am a 22 year old female. over the weekend i was drinking a soda and all of a sudden when i was swallowing, i felt a sharp pain starting under my tounge and go down in my throat. Then maybe 20 mins later, the spot under my tounge was still hurting so i lifted up my tounge and i looked in the mirror...there is 2 parts under there that sort of make a V shape and the left one was very swollen. it hurt to swallow anything and it wasnt like a soar throat sort of pain. it was like my muscles hurt. then later on in the day i looked in the mirror and i noticed the area under my jaw right before it rounds up towards the ear was swollen too. there is actually a lump there if you feel around. all this happened thursday night and it is now monday and it is still happening. the swelling will go up and down but everytime i eat something it seems to get worse. is there anything i can do to make this stop. thank you-amber

I want to you answer your questions and help you figure out what is happening. There is nothing that takes the place of a physical exam, but we will try.

1.)Do you have any other symptoms (fever, stiff neck, increase saliva, headache, other)?
2.)Any recent dental work?
3.)Is the swelling only on one side?
4.)I have just started this on-line diagnosis today. Always, a picture will help if possible.

Well lets start here.
