Red spots tip of tongue. no pain no nothing. bright red spots on tip of tongue. what are they? should i worry about them?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Red spots on tongue: may be inflammed taste buds. Doubt infection since they are painless and no other symptoms. You may have also accidentally burned them with hot coffee or tea. Salt water gargles - 1/4 teaspoon of salt in 4 oz warm water - gargle and spit out might help. Good luck
