How To Treat Large Bumpy Spots At Back Of Tongue?
I just noticed my 21 month year old daughter had large bumpy spots on the back of her tounge. I never noticed them before, but this is the first time she has stuck her tounge out that far haha. I asked my husband to look at my mouth and he said I had them too. Are these taste buds?

Hello!Welcome to HCM.
Yes!These are circumvallate papillae present at the last part of the tongue.They can be inflammed at times during bacterial accumulation.
Maintain good oral hygiene for your child.Get a expert consultation done every 6 months to detect childhood caries.
See your physician if she suffers bad breath or burning sensation.
