Feeling Of Burning Tongue, Red Bumps Along Dorsum. Done Several Tests. Took Antibiotics
I have been suffering from a feeling similar to burning tongue. My tongue is coated with some red bumps along the dorsum.y tongue burns most after I eat acidic or sugary foods. I've been tested for a number of conditions and everything has come back normal. It get better at night and worse throughout the day. Drinking water is the only thing that helps. It started a after taking 2 rounds of antibiotics but I have finished with those about 2 weeks ago.

hello and welcome to Health care magic,
I am Dr Sriram Nathan and I shall try to help you out with your problem
The bump around tongue since is of a short duration can be due to many causes most of which are benign and harmless so you do not have anything to worry about.
You may start a course of anti reflux medication like pantoprazole, along with an antihistamine like levcetrizine. Your doctor will know about these.
Take only non spicy, non oily and warm food and fluids
take proper meal at proper and correct time. Do not immediately lie down after food.
Take a course of multivitamin like zincovit in consultation with your doctor
If you do not get better in a week or so then you must consult an ENT doctor who may advice further course of action which may include endoscopy and throat swab
take care and do not worry
regards
Dr Sriram Nathan
