What Causes Small Bumps On Tongue?
Question: Small bumps on tongue
, what is it ?
, what is it ?
Brief Answer:
Inflamed taste buds...
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for posting the query
I have examined the image thoroughly and I am of the opinion that the tiny bumps are the inflamed taste buds. Do not worry! They are not dangerous.
This usually happens when an individual consumes too much of hot food/beverages, crisps or fizzy drinks. This is also noticed when there is low vitamin levels in the body.
My suggestions to you are:
1. Drink plenty of warm water
2. Eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables
3. Vitamin supplements can be tried
Hope this answers your query; revert back to me if you have any follow-up queries.
