See a Dentist!: Having bumps and looking dry might be very normal for your tongue. Your teeth can cause ridges that feel like bumps. Medication and diet and poor oral hygiene can make tongue dry and bumpy. See your dentist soon!

Red swollen tongue: Hard to say without a thorough oral exam and medical and dental history. See your dentist to have this evaluated.
