Hi Dear, Welcome to HCM. Understanding your concern. As per query you have white bump on your tongue . Well the symptoms you mention in query are pointing towards a condition known as lie bump also known as transient Lingual Papillitis . This occur when papillae on the tongue get irritated due to various reasons like hot and spicy food , acid drinks or food , and any other minor injury . This condition can also occur due to stress and hormonal changes . Although they can be uncomfortable, lie bumps aren’t serious and usually clear up without treatment and within a few days. But your should not pluck then by your own as then can get infected and cause further complications . I would suggest you to consult oral pathologist for proper examination . Doctor will examine carefully and rule out conditions like scarlet fever , syphilis and traumatic fibroma . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics along with anti inflammatory . For now do warm saline rinses several times a day and maintain proper oral hygiene . Get Well Soon. Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
