I have a bump on the center/right side of my tongue that has gotten bigger within the last couple of days.  It is red, but when looking closer, beneath the surface it looks a little grey in the center.  The bump is solid and is mildly painful. (Scale of 1-10, I say about a 2/3) Is this something I need to be concerned about or are there any OTC meds that can reduce the swelling?
Welcome to Chat Doctor .1. It looks like infection / inflammation with swollen tongue and redness.2. In this case you need a course of antibiotics.3. I suggest you to see ENT specialist and let the doctor examine your tongue and prescribe the medication.4. As you are saying it's a lump - it needs to be examined and do needful investigations (maybe a biopsy -only if doctor examined feels)5. Home remedy for temporary to reduce oral infections / inflammation do some salt water gargling will give relief. Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health. Anything to ask ? Do not hesitate.
