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.

While I am unable to diagnose medical conditions, I can offer some general information and suggestions based on your description of the bumps on your tongue: possible causes of bumps on the back of the tongue: transient lingual papillitis (lie bumps): this is a common and temporary inflammation of the tongue's papillae (tiny bumps). It can appear as small, red or white bumps in a line or cluster, and often resolve on their own within a few days. Potential triggers include: spicy or acidic foods poor oral hygiene stress viral infections geographic tongue: this is a benign condition that causes smooth, red, and sometimes slightly sore patches on the tongue's surface. These patches can change in size and shape over time, and sometimes appear in a line or pattern. Canker sores: these are small, painful ulcers that can appear anywhere in the mouth, including the tongue. They usually heal on their own within 1-2 weeks. Other less common causes: certain infections, allergies, or even vitamin deficiencies could also cause bumps on the tongue. Recommendations: observe the bumps: continue monitoring the size, color, and any associated symptoms like pain or difficulty swallowing. If they worsen or persist for more than a few weeks, consult a doctor or dentist. Practice good oral hygiene: brush your teeth twice a day, floss daily, and consider using a tongue scraper to keep your mouth clean and healthy. This can help prevent irritation and promote healing. Avoid potential triggers: try to identify and avoid any foods, beverages, or habits that might be irritating your tongue, such as spicy or acidic foods, alcohol, or smoking. Maintain good hydration: drinking plenty of water can help keep your mouth moist and soothe any discomfort. Consult a doctor or dentist if necessary: if the bumps continue to bother you, are accompanied by other symptoms, or don't seem to improve with the measures above, it's crucial to seek professional evaluation and advice. Remember: self-diagnosis and treatment are not recommended, especially for persistent or potentially serious conditions. Seeking professional medical advice is essential for accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment. I hope this information helps! please prioritize your health and don't hesitate to seek professional help if necessary.

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. White tongue is often related to oral hygiene. Your tongue can turn white when the tiny bumps (papillae) that line it swell up and become inflamed. Bacteria, fungi, dirt, food, and dead cells can all get trapped between the enlarged papillae. This collected debris is what turns your tongue white. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.

The keratin formed on the top of our tongues is knocked off and swallowed when we eat our meals. Normally the amount of keratin produced is equal to the amount knocked off, and our tongues appear normal. Sometimes this balance is upset, however, and the condition called “coated tongue” results. This increased production of keratin is usually due to irritation of the top of the tongue due to drinking hot beverages or smoking tobacco.

Hello, Thanks for the query. I have seen the query, which is very general. I do understand that you are on treatment for hypothyroidism. But neither dosage is mentioned nor T4 & TSH levels are given. Plus I am unable to understand what do you mean by "bumps on my tongue". What is your weight and height? Have checked the lipid profile? Is theere any size increase in thyroid gland? Please come back with specific answers or full information. Hypothyroidism is a hormone(Thyroxine) deficiency, in which your thyroid is either not at all producing any hormone or may be producing a small quantity. Hence there is a need for regular supplementation of that hormaone. Invariably the treatment is for life time.Thanks.
