Reddish bumps on the back of the tongue, excessive saliva production, whitish tongue. Difficulty in swallowing. Remedy?
Patient: I have these reddish bumps on the back of my tongue accompanied by EXCESSIVE saliva and a very slight amount of whitish-yellowish coating on my tongue--again, only in the back. I cannot chew well as the bumps are very irritable. Swallowing , even water, is also a little difficult. This has never happened to me before so I m a little concerned. fyi A few days ago I got a canker sore and have been rinsing with salt water. The sore is still there. I ve also been very stressed lately. Doctor: Hello,Welcome to HCM,Do you have any pain in these reddish bump? If pain is there then it can be apthous ulcers...There are various reasons for it to occur...like-stress,anxiety,certain vitamin deficiency...any hormonal changes..etc...but its recurrent in nature....In your case proper clinical examination is required for proper diagnosis...You can take vit B12 supplements..and chlohexidine mouthwash...Get your proper check-up done...Take care...
