A member asked:

Had just recently taken out my tongue ring, my doctor says it was not infected but now i have small irritated red bumps on tongue, hurt when drnk/eat?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably not: related. It could be a cold sore developing. If it persists or worsens, have your doctor look at it.
