Lingual papillitis: transient lingual papillitis About half of us experience tongue bumps at some point. These little white or red bumps form when papillae become irritated and slightly swollen. It’s not always clear why this happens, but it may be related to stress, hormones, or particular foods. Pregnancy can exacerbate these. Talk to your Dr at your next appointment. Use salt water rinses & eat cool soothing foods
