Worried About Those Bumps on Your Tongue? Here’s What You Need To Know

They are very common and usually harmless. The most likely cause is lie bumps, which are small, red bumps that usually go away on their own within a few days.

If the bump is large, painful, or doesn’t go away after a week or two, it’s best to see a doctor to rule out any other causes.

Here are some things you can do in the meantime:

• Rinse your mouth with warm salt water several times a day.
• Avoid irritating foods and drinks, such as spicy foods, acidic drinks, and alcohol.
• Brush your teeth gently and floss regularly.
