What Does A Sore Bump On The Tongue Indicate?

Hi! My mouth has been sore for 2 days now and I was wondering what it could be. There is also a bump on my tongue and I can't see it but I can feel it. Eating is starting to be uncomfortable and I just want to know should I see a doctor or wait for this to go away on its own?

Hi..
Can understand your concern..

As per your complain soreness in tongue along with a sore bump seems to be most probably due to inflammation inside mouth causing Glossitis..
A bump can be due to inflammation leading to swelling of the taste buds while can also be due to initial stage of ulcer formation..

I would suggest you to start gargling with numbing mouthwash containing Lignocaine..
You should take Vitamin B complex and lysine daily for a week..
Take anti inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen..
Suck ice pops and do cool water rinses..
Avoid spicy and chilled foods..
You should consult a Dentist and get a thorough evaluation done in case if there is no improvement..

Hope you get well soon..

Thanks and regards..
