What Causes A Feel Of Bump On Some Parts Of The Tongue?

I seem to have three to four areas on my tongue, when they are touched by my teeth, especially when I wake up, they are very sore and very uncomfortable. They are not visible, but feel like a bump. They are more uncomfortable when I have dry mouth. A few months ago, I had numb areas on my tongue also, in the same areas.

Hello thanks for the consult at hcm..
Firstly trim the sharp surfaces of teeth, if it due to that microtrauma..it might have resulted in little bumps along the lateral surfaces of tongue..

Hydrate yourself well, because you are giving history of dry mouth..

Numbness could be due to vitamin deficiencies.. Kindly get a complete blood test..

Eat nutritious food, and green leafy vegetables and fruits with antioxidants..
please consult a oral physician and general physician for a thorough check up and treatment..
Hope it helps,,take care..
