As per your query you have lumps on tongue along with poor condition of your teeth which seems a lot going on in your mouth. Burst blood vessel on the tongue as in your case need proper medical evaluation. Lump on the tongue is definitely not a normal part of body. The possible causes can be Benign lump of the muscles,  Foreign body granuloma, Cancer  and Infection in the cut.  For now do warm saline rinses several times a day and maintain proper oral hygiene . Proper diagnosis ascertained only by a clinical examination, FNAC or Excision biopsy. I would advise the excisional biopsy for to get rid of the lump and  you get a histo-pathological diagnosis to be certain the diagnosis and start treatment accordingly. I would suggest you to consult oral pathologist for proper diagnosis and treatmentHope your concern has been resolved.Get Well Soon.Best Wishes,Dr. Harry Maheshwari
