I understand your frustration and concern about the chronic painful bumps appearing on your tongue after singing, eating meat, or spicy food. While I can't diagnose your specific condition or offer medical advice, I can provide some information and suggestions that might be helpful: possible causes of your symptoms: transient lingual papillitis: this is a common condition that causes small, red bumps to appear on the tongue. It's often called "lie bumps" and is thought to be caused by irritation from hot, spicy foods, acidic drinks, or even vigorous oral hygiene practices. It usually resolves on its own within a few days. Glossitis: this is inflammation of the tongue that can cause bumps, pain, and burning sensations. It can be caused by various factors, including infections, nutritional deficiencies, autoimmune disorders, or side effects of medication. Tongue cancer: while less common, it's important to rule out the possibility of cancer, especially if the bumps don't resolve on their own, bleed easily, or are accompanied by other symptoms like hoarseness, weight loss, or difficulty swallowing. Based on your description, transient lingual papillitis seems like a possible cause. However, it's important to seek an accurate diagnosis from a qualified healthcare professional, preferably an ent specialist or dentist with experience in oral conditions. In the meantime, here are some things you can try: practice good oral hygiene: brush your teeth twice a day and floss once a day. Use a gentle toothbrush and avoid harsh mouthwashes. Rinse your mouth with warm salt water several times a day: this can help soothe irritation and promote healing. Avoid irritants: this includes hot, spicy, acidic foods, and alcohol. You might also want to avoid tobacco products. Stay hydrated: drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your mouth moist. Consider using over-the-counter pain relievers: ibuprofen or acetaminophen might help temporarily manage the pain. Remember: don't ignore persistent or worsening symptoms. Seek medical attention if the bumps don't improve within a few days, become larger or more painful, bleed easily, or are accompanied by other concerning symptoms. Focus on gentle care for your tongue. Avoid any further irritation through aggressive brushing or scraping. Document your symptoms and triggers: this information can be helpful for your doctor in making an accurate diagnosis. I hope this information is helpful and provides some direction as you seek appropriate medical care. Please don't hesitate to ask if you have any further questions.
