I have woken up the past few morning with a mucus film all over my mouth. I have large red bumps on my tounge, and am experience pain on the edges on my tounge. Last night I looked in the mirror and there was a white covering on my tounge, which I could scrap off, however white bumps remained. My soft palet is swollan and inflamed.

Hello and welcome,

The details provided gives an assumption of the lesion being pre-cancerous in nature.
Such lesions are usually caused due to-
Poor oral hygiene .
Nutritional disorders.
Antibiotic reactions.
Fungal infections.
Oral habits like tobacco/pan chewing.
Chances of the lesion being acute pseudo-membraneous candidiasis or oral thrush is high.

I would advice you to-
Maintain oral hygiene well.
Discontinue use of antibiotics causing allergy.
Take vitamin supplements.
Stop chewing tobacco/pan.
Antifungal drugs has to be administered after diagnosing the type of lesion through biopsy reports.
Hope this helps
