What Do White Bumps On The Tongue Indicate?

My 11yr old daughter has white bumps on the front part of her tongue and since Saturday it has been extremely sore and feels like it's on fire, she has not eaten anything different, Motrin will only help for a little bit , even lidocaine is not helping, any ideas?

Hi..
Thanks for the query..

White bumps on the tongue that are sore can be due to inflamed tongue papillae or can be canker sores..

So my suggestion is to make her do warm saline gargles.
Gargling with a solution of soda bicarb in water can help..
You can also consult an Emergency room and get her checked so that they can advise her Vitamin B complex.

You can also give her soft and non irritant foods.
Sucking ice lollies can help in reducing inflammation and pain..

Hope this helps..

Regards.
