Dehydration

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for the query

Little bumps on the tongue is often due to dehydration following diarrhoea, bumps could also mean vitamin deficiency. Here is what you should do

1. Take plenty of clear liquids. You should have up to 5 glasses of water a day
2. I suggest you to be on multivitamin tablets which can be bought at any local pharmacy
3. If the symptoms does not resolve in two weeks I suggest getting evaluated

I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me

Regards
