What could cause painless bumps at the back of the tongue?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
Three days ago, I noticed that there was a feeling on the left back side of my tongue (closer to my throat), almost like a popcorn kernel was stuck. I did not eat popcorn, but nothing was there. On the left side, it seems like there are three red bumps in a triangle shape that do not hurt. I did not do anything to hurt my tongue recently. Will this go away, as it is very annoying and making me gag? I take medications like Pantaprazole and Amytripaline.
Please help.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I thoroughly read your query and understand your concern.
Please attach a clear picture of those lesions to help me understand the problem. According to the picture (attachment is hidden to protect the patient's identity) you sent, it seems like some ulcers developed on the tongue due to many reasons like diet inadequacies or some present ailments, etc.
Usually, such ulcers go away in a week or two. Use warm salt water gargle twice a day, along with a vitamin B complex capsule. It helps in faster healing. Any picture will help in better understanding. Do you have a balanced diet? I suggest you better get a check-up by an ENT (ear, nose, and throat) specialist.
I hope that you get your answer.
Please let me know if you need any help.
Thank you.
