Should I Worry About Bumps on the Tongue

Healing Time

Most cases of tongue bumps caused by an injury or canker sores can resolve in a few days without treatments. Rinsing your mouth with a saltwater solution and drinking lots of water can speed up the healing process. If the symptoms last longer than one week or become more serious, you should visit a doctor to seek medical treatments. In some cases, these seemingly harmless bumps would indicate more severe conditions like cancer. [3]
