[|Human|] My spouse has bumps in on her tongue, there is one on each side of her tongue close to her tonsils. They are raised and she says she feels as if her throat is closing up. I also think I have thrush, although I am not sure because when I just used tooth paste and mouth wash to clean my tongue it disappeared. HIV?
[|AI|]  Hi. Thanks for the query. Raised bumps at the back of tongue appears to be swollen circumvallate papillae that can be due to throat Infection, oral Infection, burning with hot foods or chemicals, acid reflux etc. In case if she has white coating on her tongue then it can be probably oral thrush, and it can also be a potent cause for inflamed papillae. Do not worry, she should start gargling with warm saline solution. If there is pain she can gargle with numbing mouth wash containing Lidocaine. Use specialized mouthwash like Magic mouthwash to gargle. If there is no improvement in a week consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated. Hope this helps. Regards.
