Bumps on back of tongue
by staceyb0908, May 10, 2009 01:11PM
Hi there. A few days back, I woke up and my tongue hurt really bad. It was really dry and my throat sort of hurt. Since then, now it has gotten better but I still have bumps on the back of my tongue. Now I must tell you, I was addicted to gobstoppers and sucked on them pretty much nonstop all day and through the night sometimes. Is it too much sugar that caused the bumps? Thanks.

I would get it checked out if you are concerned but I imagine that its normal and probably there before and you started to notice it now after your symptoms.
They're probably circumvallate papillae.
