What Does Bumps On Back Of Tongue Indicate?
Hi my name is Taylor and I am 19 years old. About four days ago I notices some bumps on the back of my tongue. There isn't any anywhere else in my mouth, but there are a bunch that extend far down the back of my tounge. They almost look like large taste buds. I am very concerned and would love to know what it might be.
