What Causes Pain In Gums And White Dots On Tongue?

hi, i started to to get a feeling of my tongue burning, then a few days later i noticed small red dots on my tongue, 2 days later after that i saw small white dots spread out over my tongue. I visited the doctors today and he looked at my tongue and throat and said it looks normal and he cant see a problem. Now my gums are really starting to hurt and feel uncomfortable. Its the left side up top, its like an aching pain, feels unpleasent! Could u tell me what might be happening?

Thanks for using Health Care magic.

Read your query.

The red dots on the tongue can be due to the Vitamin B12 deficiency,oral candidiasis,having spicy intake of food or any trauma,any medications taken which are not mentioned here and many other factors,dry mouth .

I would advice you to visit a local oral surgeon and get it evaluated.If a biopsy is required you can get it done for definitive diagnosis.

Reduce spicy food and lead a healthy lifestyle.consult your physician and start with multi-vitamins.

Keep your oral cavity hydrated and get your teeth cleaned.Use a desensitizing tooth paste after getting it cleaned.

Hope this was helpful.
Thanks and regards.
