Ever wake up with tiny bumps on your tongue or notice them after eating something spicy?
They’re usually nothing serious—just your body’s way of reacting to irritation or a minor imbalance. A few easy steps can help ease the discomfort.
So, what are these little bumps all about?
We’ll break it down simply—no stress, no complex medical terms.
Why do small bumps appear on the tongue?
These bumps, commonly known as inflamed papillae (or more casually, lie bumps), are actually swollen taste buds. They can show up on the tip, sides, or surface of the tongue.
They’re often red or white and might sting a little or feel slightly tender. The good news? In most cases, they go away within a few days on their own.
