REPOST: What could this be (bad taste/bumps in mouth)?!


Question: REPOST: What could this be (bad taste/bumps in mouth).?
About an hour ago I noticed that I had an awful taste in my mouth. It finally got so bad I went and checked it out in the mirror and I have several non-painful bumps on the back of my tongue and on the inside of my cheeks. They are the same color as my tongue/cheeks.

I was wondering if anyone had ANY idea as to what this might be.? I brushed my teeth/mouth and they are still there (as expected) and the taste went away for a bit but eventually came back.

Thanks for your help!

Answers:
The bumps at the back of your tongue are probably the circumvallate papillae. and are normal. The bumps on the cheeks could be any number of normal structures. The bad taste, however, is something else. If the taste is at the back of the tongue, evaluate any medications you may have taken. Many are associated with having a bad taste (once the medication gets circulating in your blood.. not the medication itself). Dry mouth can contribute to bad taste. Try drinking more fluids (water, tea) to help keep the intensity of the taste lower

I would see a doctor about it. It sounds like hives. :/ I'm not quite sure. I am sure that you should see a doctor and or/ dentist.Health Question & Answer
