I have a small recurring bubble underneath my tongue. It occurs in the same place. It seems to appear after I eat sweet, sour, spicy foods. It looks like an air bubble. Only a slight sting and the uncomfortable feeling of its existence. Can anybody give me any insight as to what this might be? I couldn’t find anything on the web. Thanks.

That’s just the baby spiders wanting out. Nothing to be concerned over.
