Hello doctor,
I am 20 years old. A month ago, I noticed few small pimples at the back of my tongue and I thought that they will get alright on their own. But, they have been there for almost a month. And, I have halitosis too. I often have a sore throat as well, but it is not severe.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
- The bumps are enlarged circumvallate papillae, which can be due to a number of causes like oral infections, acid reflux, throat infections, or a post nasal drip.
- Halitosis or bad breath can occur due to poor oral hygiene, oral and dental infections, post nasal drip, sinusitis, acid reflux, respiratory infections, or diabetes.
- You should consult a dentist or an otolaryngologist and get evaluated clinically and with investigations depending upon the suspected cause.
- The treatment of the underlying cause will relieve the symptoms.
- As of now, you should start gargling with a flavored mouthwash twice a day.
- You should chew flavored sugarfree chewing gum.
- Do warm saline gargles twice a day.
- Limit the intake of high aroma foods like onion and garlic.
- Drink plenty of water and maintain a good oral hygiene.
