helloo...read through ur query..accordingly i must say that white patches could be fungal infection(candidiasis)...bumps on the tongue can be due to inflammation(can be diagnosed finally based on the clinical picture)of the taste buds(can be due to candidiasis)..nothing to be worried...first of all u must get treatment for decayed tooth..and get a scaling done..70% of problem will be relieved..then do brushing twice daily..after brushing do tongue scraping(whole load of microbes will be reduced)use chlorhexidine mouthwash..apply nystatin gel on the white patches..drink lots and lots of water...follow this for few weeks..still if it persists meet another dentist(for a second opinion)and get treatment done based on clinical presentation..above all be stressfree and cool...stresfree mind relieves most of probs in life..hope ur benefitted something from this reply..have a healthy day!!!

Hello,
You may have a fungal infection. This is a common side effect when taking the antibiotic amoxicillin. Try to take some acidophilus while taking amoxicillin to prevent a yeast infection. You may need a prescription for Nystatin from your dentist. Practice proper daily dental care including brushing your tongue. Rinse your mouth with warm salt water. Make sure you complete the necessary dental treatment necessary to treat your infected tooth. Drainage from an infected tooth can leave an irritating, acidic coating on your oral tissues. Keep well hydrated, avoid all irritants including smoking, and maintain a proper diet with balanced vitamins. Anti-inflammatory medication such as tylenol or advil can be taken. Other considerations are a step infection or gastric disoders that may produce these symptoms.
Thank you for your inquiry. I hope my suggestions are useful.
