Sore white bump on my tongue

I have a tiny white bump on my tongue and its really Sore what is it and how can I make it go away!

It may be what my mom used to call a lie bump. They just pop up occasionally and hurt really bad then they go away. I really don't know what causes them.

could possibly be a canker (sp?) sore...from the acids in your mouth from food and drinks...I get them every once in a while...if it is that, swishing warm salt water around in mouth helps...but thats for canker sores

Not to scare you or anything but this guy came to our school a few days ago to talk to us about how he had got cancer in his mouth and it started as a white bumb and kept spreading. He had half is tongue removed and is going to have is 53 surgery to fix his face. so I hope you dont smoke even second hand smoke can do this. I dont recall the name of the disease but 4 out of 5 people with it die.

its probably a exploded taste bud. It happens to me all the time. they hurt really bad but it will go away. they sometimes just come up or they come if I eat really hot food. =) if your really concerned talk to the doc!

I get them ALL the time from kissing those darn boys. Don't stress over it. I have had a lot of people tell me its a light herpes STD, but don't flip aces, its fine, it wont kill you and wont have any effect but those little white bumps here and there. you can get it simply by sharring drinks or chap stick. you wil lprobably have them come up every so often your whole life, and you will give them to anyone you kiss when you have one. but its all fine. almost everyone gets them from sharing spit. You just got to take the pain of those pesky bumps!

your right it's from food and drinks I am having gastro issues like acid reflux and I drink a lot of pop and besides the horrible acid relux my mouth is very sensitive, and painful I'm going to try swabbing my mouth with liquid antacid the more acid I consume the worse the mouth pain is good luck!

If you get them from eating banana, tomato, pineapple, or by drinking carbonated drinks like I do, it may help to take Lactinex. You can buy it from a pharmacy as they keep it in their refrigerator and it is an over the counter product. As always, research anything you ingest before randomly taking advice on a med. Hope this helps!

My mom calls is an acid bump, for sure. That is what it is. You get it from sodas like pepsi, mountain dew, coke, sprite, etc. They really hurt and are annoying but they just go away over night sometimes.

You're fine! I get them all the time. I get it from foods with high amounts of acid, you can even get them from not drinking enough fluids! ITS NOT HERPES! dont tlisten to these pepole! Herpes doesn't appear inside the mouth. Rinse with arm salt water or Listerine, it help them heal up. You are finnne!!!

You get it from foods! You are fine! It's not HERPES! And even I it was, 70-80% of all people have some form of herpes, its no big deal!

Your gonna die. those are cancer. im sorry but its over 4 u.

yeah I get them too and they are so annoying but I think warm salt water will work im going to try it or listerine or maybe both!but I know its not HERPES!!!

Those white bumps are like white heads that grows on your face isn't? I always have that and it's pretty normal when you are a sickly person like me,especially when you always got colds or flu virus,sometimes it takes you 4-5 days to get rid of it,my advice is gargle with a mild mouthwash,you also need to increase the dosage of your Vitamin C and most importantly even how painfully crazy it is and itchy (sometimes)just try to ignore it.=)
