Lynne-
There's no way to tell what's causing it unless you let them look at
it, hon. I certainly understand your apprehension, but early diagnosis
usually yields the best treatment option - it could be something as
small as a blocked up salivary gland, which is pretty common.
Let us know how it turns out? You're always welcome to email if you
like.
Best-
