i kissed a boy friday night and sunday morning when i got up i had a red bump on the tip of my tongue that was hurting what is it? is it hyrpes?

Accepted Answer

Doubtfull but possib: Any oral contact can transmit disease. Herpes usually is on the lips or the gums but can manifest on the tongue. Regardless, if it is herpes it is probably not the type two that you are afraid of, but a simple cold sore which will disappear in a week. Relax.

Question 9

why is my tongue all of a sudden feeling kind of tight and numb underneath it also has a small red bump?

Accepted Answer

See ENT physician: Those symptoms can reflect blockage in a salivary gland; less likely is a local infection.  It needs to be looked at for proper treatment

Question 10

i developed a very small red bump on the tip of my tongue that is painful / sore.  i burned my tongue earlier today, could it be related?

Accepted Answer

Likely: That is the most likely scenario. You might also be pulling it against or over or through a small space at the front of your teeth. This can be a habit. If burned, it should resolve in 1 - 2 weeks. Monitor it and see. If not better, see your dentist. Good luck.
