Bumps Along Gums Close To Tongue And Soft Palate, Painful. What Could Be This?
Hi! Last Wednesday i noticed little bumps along my gums close to my tongue. The past couple of days I've also had a couple of larger, more painful blistering bumps under my tongue. Today I've noticed my soft palate has the smaller bumps (make me think of enlarged taste buds.).
I have been juicing since early May. Don't know if I'm just now having a reaction, or if something else is going on.
Thoughts? Thanks!

hello and welcome to HCM,
it seems that you may either be having a reaction to something or having an infection which is causing the glands in your oral cavity to enlarge.
you need to consult an ENT/ dentist for the proper treatment
meanwhile avoid all cold fluids and drinks and take only warm fluids
also avoid spicy food and have a healthy diet
get well soon
