<s>[INST] I noticed about 5 days ago, a feeling of something on the left side of my throat. I frequently have tonsil stones, but after a thorough check, found none. During this process I noticed that on the far left base of my tongue, two enlarged white lumps...I understand that different types of papillae inhabit this part of the tongue, but do not see them on the other side of the tongue. There is no pain or bleeding, I do not smoke or drink excessively either. There is no history of oral cancer in my family. The only symptom present is a feeling of something there that I cannot get rid of. It s very aggravating and I have done a salt water rinse, used an antiseptic wash, even went as far as using Chloraseptic to dull the feeling. I m wondering if this is something I should worry about getting checked, or something that will take care of itself in time. Thanks. [/INST] Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. White patch on your tongue may be due to leukoplakia.  It is not malignant condition, but it is definitely precancerous.  Your should investigate it.  You should go for biopsy of that part. Then go for histopathological examination.  It will give you exact diagnosis. Then take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health. </s>
