Small bumps near the base of the tongue are usually caused by inflammation of the contoured papillae on the surface of the tongue root, and the cause is mostly due to vitamin deficiency, anemia, fungal infection, and local irritation. Therefore, the treatment should be a multivitamin supplement, and patients with anemia should be treated by an internist. In addition, it is necessary to adjust and sharpen the sharp tips of the teeth and prevent bad habits such as excessive tongue extension. At the same time, you can use Chinese medicine to clear heat and detoxify the toxin, such as stomatitis clear granules and platelet granules. When the pain is obvious, you can give a numbing medicine containing rinse, such as procaine rinse. A painful bump on the edge of the tongue may also be due to an ulcer on the tongue mucosa. In this case, you can apply compound furacilin paste, open throat sword spray, watermelon cream spray and rehabilitative new liquid gargle on the surface of the ulcer to promote the healing of the ulcer. If the bumps on the side of the tongue are painful and the local bleeding or erosion does not heal over time, prompt medical attention is needed to prevent other pathologies.
