Accepted Answer

The tongue have a variety of changes based on your personal oral hygiene. The tongue can look white, if you are dry or dehydrated. Sometimes, the taste buds on the back of the tongue can look  prominent, but this is not usual. There is lymph tissue in the tongue base  and this can change based on your hydration, immune status, and  general health.  See an ENT for assessment if concerned.

Question 7

Have had a white bump on one side of the tongue for 3 months. brush biopsy and swab of throat were normal. what else can it be caused by?

Accepted Answer

Glad you had it biopsied...a fibroma is benign and can be old "scar" tissue where you've traumatized or bitten(maybe accidentally) your tongue. The next most common thing would be verrucous in nature(wart). If you're bothered by it you're dentist or oral surgeon can remove it, preferably with a diode laser

Question 8

Is it normal to have yellow bumps on the side of your mouth by your tonsils and on the back of your tongue? i don't brush my teeth often.

Accepted Answer

This sounds like you have folds, pockets or divets where food and bacterial debris can accumulate.  This can set up a low grade infection process that can flare up an become serious if not monitored and/or cleaned out sufficiently.

Question 9

I have little flesh color bumps under my toungue in the side, is it normal? they don't hurt, itch, or burn.

Accepted Answer

Due to the  different food that we eat, sometimes under the tongue we inflict some trauma. Small blood vessels show up.
Nevertheless if these lesions start to hurt and don't disappear consult your dentist or physician.
