bumps on tongue

by 69towncar, Oct 06, 2009 08:28PM

hi i have bumps that are the same color as my tongue mabey a little lighter. I went to the doctor about a week after these bumps came up, or since i noticed them. Before that i had a cold for about 3 weeks which has never happened. My doctor prescribed me a antibiotic but it did not work and i do not have any form of insurance. Before and after the antiibiotics i have had severe stomach pains also. thank you for all coments and help in advance.

Where exactly are the bumps located on the tongue? A commonly noted normal anatomical bump in the circumvallate palpillae.
