Could be a blocked or infected Saliva gland maybe. Or it could be cancer, or could be a harmless tumor. Wish you luck. Keep positive thoughts.

A little lump was all my father had. His wife though works in radiology she insisted he check it out. the caught his cancer connected to the base of his tongue (back of the throat) when it was 1cm by 3 cm.
Have it checked out. Es specially in your ear, nose and throat area. A hard area to operate on in a worst case scenario.

Thepossibility of a thyroglossal duct cyst exists, although the usual one is a bit lower but attached to the base of the tongue. It is perfectly benign.

Getting it checked is the right thing to do.
One way or the other, you need to know.
Best wishes!
