What causes tongue bumps after oral sex?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

A month ago, I had oral sex with a stranger, and we humped on each other, and our genitals touched. The next day, I got a white dot on my tongue and a red bump on the backside of my tongue.

After a few days, I checked for HIV (human immunodeficiency virus), HBS (hepatitis B virus), syphilis, and HPV (human papillomavirus), and all tests were negative. And then I moved on, and now it has been two weeks since I have had a crooked tongue, fatigue, headache, mild fever, and weakness.

I also masturbate two to three times a day and have insomnia. I cannot get eight hours of sleep. Is it because of anxiety and stress?

Please advise.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understand your concern.

The attached file (attachment removed to protect the patient's identity) shows that the edge of your tongue is ragged, not smooth, meaning you have a folic acid deficiency. Red bumps are also seen. HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) symptoms are uncommon on the next day.

The window period is three weeks to three months. I suggest the following:

  1. Apply a lotion containing Choline salicylate and Lidocaine twice before food with an earbud. Then, wait for 15 to 20 minutes.
  2. Take light meals. After that, rinse your mouth.
  3. Apply Clotrimazole lotion and wait for 15 minutes. Likewise, do it three times daily before breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
  4. I also suggest you take a tablet of Azithromycin 500 mg once per day after food for five days and a tablet of Diclofenac twice a day after food for five days.
  5. For insomnia, I suggest you take a tablet of 25 mg of Quetiapine, starting with 12.5 mg, which means half the tablet. So, you can take up to 50 mg, but gradually. As the test is non-reactive, there is no sex-linked disorder.
  6. Take 5 mg of Folic acid daily after eating food for three weeks. After that, you can go for two months. It has no side effects.

I suggest you consult a specialist, talk with them, and take the medications with their consent.

I hope this has helped you. Kindly follow up if you have more doubts.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

Can I stay stress-free now? I cannot focus on my studies.

Please help.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

Yes, you need not worry.

Kind regards.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

For the past two days, my stomach has been itching. Yesterday, I got two rashes, and now I have four new rashes. And my whole stomach skin feels itchy and burning, and it is a bit painful.

Kindly help.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understood your concern.

These are nail rashes when you itch very harshly. I suggest you take a tablet containing Levocetirizine and Montelukast at night for five days. Apply Lacto Calamine lotion (Zinc oxide, Kaolin clay, and Glycerin) in three parts.

Mix one part with a cream containing Betamethasone valerate (0.1 %) and apply locally after a bath below the neck on the whole body.

I hope this has helped you. Kindly follow up if you have more doubts.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

I want to share something. I have not bathed for the past four days. But yesterday, I had a super hot bath, and my headache quickly went away.

First, in two weeks, I got up without feeling tired; although I got five hours of sleep, I was not tired. But now, in the evening, I am so sleepy. I think your medication is working.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I pray for every patient to get a better response and speedy recovery.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

Yesterday I had a painful, white thing on my tongue. And then I checked the other side of the tongue, and there was a white milky kind of thing on my tooth side and a red dot beside that. And for the past month, the roof of my mouth has felt rough. Please help.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understood your concern.

I suggest you apply an analgesic gel containing Choline salicylate and Benzalkonium chloride on the side of the tongue where you have a lesion. You can even apply it to the roof before meals. Wait for 15 to 20 minutes and then have meals.

After that, apply antifungal mouth lotion all over the lesion so the roof is still required. I also suggest you take the tablet containing Aceclofenac, Paracetamol, and Serratiopeptidase three times a day after food for three to five days for pain.

Please check that your teeth are sharp and that you have pain on the side of the tongue when cutting. If so, go to the dentist, and he will check and repair the tooth.

I hope this has helped you. Kindly follow up if you have more doubts.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Thank you for the reply,

I am afraid because I have a bad habit of biting my inner lips, so I have scratches while having oral sex.

Please help.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understood your concern.

I have opened a lot of files (attachment removed to protect the patient's identity), all opened, and saw the scratches. Nothing is going wrong. There is no medicine to correct the habit. Scratch heals by natural phenomena.

I suggest you take a tablet of Folic acid 5 mg three times a day after food for ten to fifteen days, a capsule containing Vitamin B complex, Vitamin C, and Zinc one at night for ten to fifteen days, and apply the lotion and gel as I suggested you one by one locally.

Fear is treated by a psychiatrist.

I hope this has helped you. Kindly follow up if you have more doubts.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Thank you for the reply,

Yesterday, I was just checking for any symptoms in the anal area, and I found this image had been attached. It was bleeding, but it was not itchy or painful. And now it is painful.

I think I over-stretched it. Is it because of stool, or is it herpes? And in the second image, is it leukoplakia on the cheek?

Please advise.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understood your concern.

I suggest you apply the gel and lotion, as mentioned earlier. In the anus, you have a wound starting with external piles, which becomes a bleeding wound. For this, I suggest you apply an ointment containing Beclomethasone dipropionate locally by index finger first on the wound and butthole, then gently push inside the anus.

Rotate the finger so the ointment covers the anal mucosa two times a day, to be continued for three weeks for complete healing. Also, I suggest you take a tablet containing Paracetamol and Serropeptidase three times a day after food for five days and a capsule of antibiotic containing Amoxicillin and Clavulanate 625 mg three times a day after food for five days.

If the stool is hard, take 10 ml of Lactulose syrup at night after dinner. So, the stool becomes soft; continue till required.

I hope this has helped you. Kindly follow up if you have more doubts.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Thank you for the reply,

So it is not herpes?

Please advise.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I do not think so. You can confirm this by consulting a dermatologist.

Kindly follow up if you have more doubts.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

I forgot to mention that for the past three to four weeks, I have had a headache on my forehead that will not go away, even after taking Ibuprofen. And there is a post-nasal drip every five to ten minutes. And mild nasal congestion.

My headache is interfering with my daily studies, and four or five days ago, I felt like something was stuck in my throat, like someone was choking me. Yesterday, when I was working out, my throat was completely dry, and I also had shortness of breath.

Sometimes, my throat felt good, but then the itching sensation came up. Was it stress and anxiety or a sinus infection?

Please advise.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understood your concern.

I suggest you gargle with a 5 ml solution of Betadine in hot to warm water. Gargle it before meals and spit it out. I also suggest you take a tablet containing Aceclofenac and Paracetamol three times a day after food for five days. Check your blood pressure to monitor.

Eye check-up whenever you have time. Also, a tablet containing Aceclofenac and Paracetamol will take care of headaches and throat. Yet, for the throat, you can consult an ENT. I suggest you take a tablet containing Clonazepam and Escitalopram one at night for ten days.

I suggest you consult a specialist, talk with them, and take the medications with their consent. It seems to be stress anxiety.

I hope this has helped you.

Kindly follow up if you have more doubts.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Thank you for the reply,

This is a real concern. Can you please confirm once again? Is anything wrong with my anus? Because what I saw online was completely different.

Please help.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I would like to assure you that it is not a worrisome issue.

Kindly follow up if you have more doubts.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

There is a red spot on my penis head.

Kindly help.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

I suggest you consult a dermatologist once, till then maintain hygiene. Take a tablet containing Montelukast and Levocetirizine at night. Apply a locally applied ointment containing Betamethasone and Neomycin.

Take 200 mg of Itraconazole twice daily after meals for 3 weeks. Please consult your specialist doctor and then take the medicines.

I hope this has helped you.

Kindly follow up if you have more doubts.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

I believe I might have mononucleosis. Occasionally, my right nostril becomes blocked, and at other times, it is the left side. Could this be sinusitis?

Additionally, my entire family is experiencing throat issues, along with headaches and runny noses. Please assist in determining whether this is related to EBV, MONO, or another condition. My sleep is being significantly impacted.

Kindly help.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understood your concern.

I suggest you use Fluticasone nasal spray twice daily for nasal congestion. Take a tablet containing Montelukast and Levocetirizine Hydrochloride once at night for five days to address these symptoms.

For throat discomfort, use a Betadine gargle by adding 5 ml of the solution to warm water, gargling before meals, and then spitting it out. Take painkillers like Paracetamol three times daily after meals for three to five days to manage pain.

Additionally, take one Cefexim 200 tablet twice daily after meals for five days. To accurately diagnose your condition, please consult an ENT (otolaryngologist), discuss your condition with them, and take the medications with their consent.

I hope this has helped you.

Kindly follow up if you have more doubts.

Thank you.
