Why Is My Tongue Swollen With White Dots On It?

im 44 and woke up with abdominal pain yesterday morning. At first I thought Imight have had some sort of food poison from the raw fish I had the night before, but its 24 hours later and the abdominal pain has sustained in the lower right only. While shaky fever type symptons are no longer here, I still feel week and maybe a bit constipated. Lastly, my tongue is swolled with wehite dots on the back. Ive been looking up pancreatits and appendicitis, but the swollen tongue part makes me think a bacteria is attackin my body.

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

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

As per your complain stomach ache, fever like symptoms followed by white spots on tonsils along with swollen tongue seems to be due to side effect of taking raw fish as sea food can commonly cause allergic reaction..
It can also be due to poisoning..
I would suggest you to consult a Medicine Specialist and get evaluated and he can do a thorough clinical evaluation and also blood investigation to rule out the exact cause of pain and tongue bumps..
As of now you can take symptomatic treatment like in case if there is pain in tongue you can gargle with a numbing mouthwash.
Take Tylenol or diclofenac to relieve pain..
Take a soft and light diet with ample of fluids..
Take sufficient rest..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
