Hey,
Really freaking out right now :(
About a month, i got a flu like virus which lasted a few days and went away. at the same time i got this big ulcer thing in between the bottom of my tongue and all that connective tissue gum stuff, it didn't hurt like an ulcer, it was weird, the doctor said it was an ulcer because of the flu.
So 4 weeks later its still there!!! It comes and goes, at the moment its like its filled with fluid or something, its kind a transparent, then after a day or 2 it goes down to a tiny fraction of the size with a bit of white on it. Its like a small bubble really when its large, when its small and its gone down, its hardly anything at all.
It seems to be aggravated when eating sharp things, like biscuits or something, although the other day it flared up but i have no reason as to why it could have happened.
I'm really scared by it, had a really big anxiety attack earlier about the whole thing cause i'm convinced its cancer, especially when the 2 pharmacists i've seen said see the gp.
I have an appointment at the boots walk in clinic at 4.30 today, i'm terrified, i feel sick with fear and worry and i can't stop shaking :(
Friends and family think its an ulcer, but the pharmacist today said it isn't as it looks a bit inflamed and a bit red...it certainly doesn't feel like an ulcer, it doesn't sting or anything, it just appears and flares up like a small balloon filled with fluid, then it dies down, then it flares up again and its exactly the same place!! I'm so scared its cancer :( I stupidly googled it and it said long lasting ulcers under the tongue is a sign of mouth cancer.
Has anybody else had this kind of thing before?
Thanks
