I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. Transient lingual papillitis, also known also as lie bumps, is a temporary inflammation of the tongue's papillae. These are the tiny bumps found on the upper surface of the tongue. Lie bumps can be painful and may cause itching, extreme sensitivity, or a burning sensation on the tongue. They usually appear suddenly. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.
