[|Human|] I had tongue reduction surgery among money other things 4 weeks ago. It seems my tongue has reacted to the dissolvable stitches along it and I ve got these lumps that almost look like ulcers along my tongue. They are painful when I m trying to eat. I have dissolvable stitches where they took 7 of my teeth out and down my bottom lip (chin reduction) and up around my top lip (jaw surgery) and none of those have reacted like this. I have been washing my mouth out 3 times a day with an antibacterial mouthwash recommended by my doctor so I can t see how it might be infected. I have tried googling but nothing has come up and I don t see my doctor for 2 months.
[|AI|]  Hi. Thanks for the query. Your explanation is pointing towards inflammatory reaction leading to ulceration and lumps can be due to inflamed and swollen tongue papillae. So my suggestion is to consult an Emergency Dentist and get evaluated. This is a must needed thing to check if there is Infection. As of now you can do warm saline gargles and continue antiseptic mouthwash gargles. Do cool compresses over the lumps. Take anti-inflammatory painkillers like Ibuprofen. Apply Lidocaine gel to reduce pain. Hope this helps. Regards.
