Red Bumps On Back, Side Of Tongue, Dry Throat. Feels Like Circumvallate Papillae. Treatment?
For the past week I have noticed red bumps on the side of my tongue and also towards the back of my tongue...perhaps circumvallate papillae....they do not hurt...tongue feels thicker and I don t have a problem swallowing but just feels like I would...also throat is dry. Where did this come from? How to treat it? gargle with saltwater?

Hello,
Welcome to health care magic forum.
I have read your concern.
The red bumps on tongue may have occurred due to - APHTHOUS STOMATITIS.
I would suggest you to avoid spicy foods,betel nut chewing.
Nutritional supplements like vitamin b complex as well as Folic acid has to be administered.
Corticosteroids are usually administered in such cases.
Meanwhile,avoid anxiety,stressful jobs.
Hope this helps.
