What Do Bleeding Bumps On Tongue Suggest?

I have bumps on my tongue that are the same color as my tongue but everything tastes hot and I always brush my tongue when I brush my teeth and this morning one of them bled. What can cause this? I noticed the hot taste before I noticed the bumps. My email address is YYYY@YYYY

Hi Dear ,

Welcome to Health Care Magic Team.

Understanding your concern.

Bleeding bumps on tongue along with burning sensation could be because of inflammation of papillae of tongue. It could be because of burning mouth syndrome , acid reflux, allergic reaction to allergen and because of excessive use of caffeine / chocolate products.

I would suggest you not to brush your tongue at all as it will cause bleeding from inflamed papillae of tongue. Main oral hygiene of your cavity by brushing very carefully with supersoft tooth brush bristles.

Apply dologel on tongue mucosa as it will soothen the burning sensation. Use antimicrobial anesthetic patches to sensitize mucosa.

Avoid spicy and very hot food. Use yogurt on daily basis. Do not bring your tongue in between your teeth as it will increase irritation. Need not to worry keep applying desi ghee as well, your symptoms will resolve in 2-3 days.

If it keeps on persisting then visit dentist once so that biopsy of fluid from blisters can be done to find out exact diagnosis.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
