WELCOME TO HCM.
FIRST THING TO DO IS TO STOP WORRYING ABOUT BUMPS ON THE BACK OF UR TONGUE. THEY ARE NORMAL TASTE BUDS OF TONGUE. U DONT NEED TO TAKE ANY ANTIBIOTIC NOW. ITS NOT DUE TO INFECTION. U TRY TAKING THESE MEASURES, THEY WILL HELP U:-
- TAKE CARE OF UR ACID REFLUX
- TAKE AN ANTIALLERGIC TAB AND AN ANTACID CAP ALONG WITH ANTACID GEL
- DO WARM SALINE GARGLES TWICE DAILY
TAKE ALL THIS FOR NEXT 7 DAYS. U WILL FEEL BETTER.
