POOJA KOTHARIExpecting Mom due in 1 month2 months agoA. Small bumps on your son’s tongue (Tungle, as you wrote) can happen due to several common reasons, and in most cases, they go away on their own within a few days. Here are possible causes:
🔹 Common Reasons for Tongue Bumps: Irritation from food – spicy, hot, or rough-textured foods can cause tiny bumps. Mild infection or viral illness – like hand, foot, and mouth disease or viral stomatitis. Enlarged taste buds (transient lingual papillitis) – harmless and usually resolve on their own. Biting the tongue or injury from teeth or toys. Allergic reaction – to food or toothpaste. 🩺 When to See a Doctor: If the bumps are painful, growing, not going away after a week, or are accompanied by fever, drooling, or difficulty eating, it’s best to consult your pediatrician.
In most cases, keeping the mouth clean and avoiding spicy/hot foods helps healing. You can offer cool, soft foods and plenty of fluids.
