What Causes Sore Lump And Purple Patch On Tongue?

I was eating and I noticed my tongue suddenly felt funny, like a canker soar however it was towards the middle of my tongue instead of the edge. There is a soar lump center left on my tongue. I came home and I looked at my tongue and has a purple patch on the left FRONT side of it. Looks exactly like a bruise. It covers the left side of the tip of my tongue. What happened??

Hi..
Can understand your concern..

As per your complain it seems that you have got allergic reaction to any of the constituents of the food items that you have taken and immediately after consuming as you were unknown to the allergy the reaction has taken place leading to the symptoms as you explained..

It comes under the category of food allergies..

In case you still have discomfort you can take allegra or benadryl for faster relief from the allergy symptoms..

Gargle with 1:1 solution of Milk of Magnesia and Benadryl..

Maintain a good hydration by drinking plenty of water..

Salt water rinses can also help..

In case of irritation of tongue and bruising you can suck on ice pops.

Hope this information helps..
