Why is my tongue white with red bumps? i need some advice.

Rule out fungus: A sore white whitish tongue with red bumps could represent fungal infection such as thrush (moniliasis). Have a culture taken for a specific diagnosis and if fungus is recovered, there are many oral rinses that can cure you within 7-10 days.
