What Causes Puss-filled Bumps On The Back Of Tongue?

I have little puss-filled bumps on the back of my tongue and maybe throat. I have no fever or anything. At the start there was one big one right in the center back and now there are smaller more scattered ones. They hurt more at certain times than others. What do I do?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that the blisters at the back of tongue are inflamed Circumvallate papillae that contains taste buds and they can bet inflamed due to reasons like throat infection, oral infection, allergies, burning with hot foods and chemicals like concentrated mouthwash solution, post nasal drip etc..
I would suggest you to do warm saline gargles.
Soda bicarb gargles can help..
Take Ibuprofen to reduce inflammation and pain.
Gargle with a numbing mouthwash containing Lignocaine..
Avoid hot and spicy food..
Drink plenty of cool water and suck ice..
In case of no improvement consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
