What Causes Sore Throat And Raised Bumps On The Back Of The Tongue?

I thought I was getting a sore throat but when looking I found a few raised bumps on the back of my tounge. I did start a open and start a brand new Symbicort inhaler today and used that. Could that have caused it. I have been using Symbicort for a long time and nothing like this has ever happened. I quit smoking 5 years ago. Any suggestions?

Hello,

Raised bumps at the back of tongue appears to be swollen circumvallate papillae that can be due to throat infection, oral Infection, your new inhaler can be a cause if there is some changed components, burning with hot foods or chemicals, etc. Do not worry, start gargling with warm saline solution. If there is pain you can gargle with numbing mouth wash containing Lignocaine. Do cool water rinses.

Gargle thoroughly with water after using inhaler. If there is no improvement in a week consult an oral physician and get evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
