Weird Sensation In Tongue, Feels Like Swelling, Bumps On Tongue, Itchy. Any Ideas?
My tongue has been feeling weird for the last few weeks. Sides feel soar and uncomfortable on the sides. I can feel the slight swelling the sides but can't see it. There are also small bumps on the top of the back of my tongue that I can feel. It's a bit itchy at times and the back of my tongue looks a little whitish. What's happening??

Hello,
Your tongue is affected by Aphthous ulcers.
I would advice you to maintain oral hygiene well.
Floss your tongue daily using tongue scrapers.
Rinse your mouth after every meals.
Avoid spicy foods.
Take plenty of fluids and nutritious diet.
Vitamin c,folic acid supplements can be taken.
If symptoms persists,please do visit a dentist.
Take care.
