Hello and thanks for your post,

I am sorry to hear about your worries. We are not able to diagnose (tell you what is wrong) but I am sure that it must be making eating and drinking very uncomfortable for you.

As the other forum member said it is important to get it checked out by your GP. You may find that you have an infection that may need a course of antibiotics but of course I can't be sure.

It is very easy to think that symptoms may have a more serious cause but this is not always the case particularly at your young age.

Tongue cancer at your age is extremely rare and your symptoms are much more likely to be due to other causes such as infection.

I hope that you have managed to share this with a trusted adult or a parent as it can be a difficult dealing with this on your own.

Do make an appointment as soon as possible so you can find out more.  

All the best,

Catherine
