A member asked:

I have 3 bumps on the right side in the back of my tongue & 2 on the left side in the back of my tongue. burnt tongue w/ coffee 2 days ago. what is it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Bumps: "Bumps" may be normal Vallate Papillae. Probably not blisters. See your Dentist for an evaluation. The burns should heal on their own in a few days. The Papillae are normal, and will be there for the rest of your life.
