What Do White Lesions On The Tongue After Indicate?

Hi. I quit smoking about a month ago and started vaping. It was a starter vape cigarette. I felt like I was getting fluid in my mouth, so I spit it out and rinsed my mouth. I now have inverted "v" shaped white bumpy lesions on the very back of my tongue. I threw the vape away this morning. I'm done smoking and vaping. Is this a vaping side effect? Will it go away? What can I do to help it go away? Thank you.

Hello,

Inverted bumpy "V" shaped lesions on the back of the tongue appear to be swollen circumvallate papillae, and it occurs most probably due to inflammation as you are vaping. So my suggestion is to stop vaping and start doing warm saline gargles.

Suck ice pops as it will help in reducing inflammation and swelling.
Take Vitamin B complex supplements.
Also, avoid spicy and acidic foods.
Drink plenty of water.
In case if there is no improvement, consult an oral physician and get evaluated.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora
