Hello and welcome to XXXXXXX forum,
Thanks for writing to us,

I appreciate you for providing us with your pictures here,
I would like you to know that the pink dots on your tongue are absolutely normal and indicate no abnormality.

These are due to burns from eating hot or spicy food, or we can relate them to nutritional deficiency also.
I could not find any cold sore on the tongue except on the extreme back of your tongue, an enlarged pink spot which is most probably from burns.
Is it painful?
Have you noticed any changes in the size or color?
kindly get back with the answers to these questions, so that I can guide you better.

Also, presence of HSV1 does not always state presence of cold sores, the lesions appear during phases of stress, chronic illness, malnutrition,etc.
You need not worry because none of the pictures state oral lesions from HSV-1.

But if you have any symptoms like pain or burning sensation then kindly see your dentist.
I hope this answer was useful,
I wish you good health,
take care.

Hello,

Thanks for writing back to us.

Drinking Hot water, eating spicy food or even nutritional deficiencies cause changes on the tongue. Tongue becomes red, sore and swollen. But in your case I see none.

I do not feel it is much of a concern as you do not experience any sort of pain or burning.
Kindly eat a healthy diet and keep an eye on the pink bumps for any changes in size or color.
Otherwise these bumps will disappear in 10-15 days.

But if the bumps increase in number, size or show changes in color, then kindly see your dentist.

Until then eat healthy, stay healthy.
I wish you good health,
Take care.
