What Cause Bumps On Tongue And Pink Fluid While Coughing

Hello, I have a relative that claims he has some type of bumps on his tongue, and also claims that a pink-colored fluid comes out of his mouth when he coughs. He has trouble eating and he has gone to the doctor 5 times and has told him that he has an inflammated liver. He has given him a treatment but he doesn't feel better at all. Please help me to figure out what is wrong with my relative.

Hello,
From your description, I would suspect gastric upset that causes irritation. Common is a high amount of acid production. The high acid content can cause a reaction to the surface of the tongue and possible bleeding along the gastric system or sinus mucosa.
I suggest completing treatment for the liver malfunction to determine if these are side effects or complications due to the liver issues.
Consider consultation with your dentist, digestive and ENT specialist. Reduce acid content in your diet and avoid all irritants such as fried food, spicy foods, smoking and alcohol. Exams by these specialist will help determine if there are other conditions that require immediate treatment.
Thank you for your inquiry.
