Medical Treatments
There are many treatment options for tongue bumps, depending on the cause. Most cases can resolve themselves in a few days without treatments. You can purchase some OTC topical products to relieve pain or discomfort caused by irritation or inflammation. In cases of infections, antifungal medications or antibiotics might be prescribed to improve the symptoms. Bumps caused by herpes cannot be cured, but taking antiviral drugs can prevent further outbreaks. In more serious cases like cancer, you might have to go through chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or surgery. [6]
