Suggest Treatment For White Bumps Appearing On The Tongue
I thought I had a cold, but after a week or so most of my symptoms seem to have gone away except for a small cough. In the morning when I wake up my throat is when it hurts the most. Today I bit my tongue and it really hurt so I went to check I the mirror and u noticed I had white bumps in the back of my tongue. I m a bit scared as what these are.

Hello
there can be many reasons for the white spots , the most likely of which would be a bacterial infection or candida (fungal ) infection. Please dont ignore this and meet your doctor for examination and further treatment.Meanwhile you can start gargling with warm salt water 2-3 times a day.
