Stay hydrated
Drinking enough water keeps your mouth moist and protects your tongue from further irritation.
Apply a little honey
Dab some pure honey on the bump. Its natural soothing properties can bring relief (but avoid this for children under one year old).
Avoid irritating foods
Steer clear of very hot, spicy, or acidic dishes for a few days.
Practice good oral hygiene
Gently clean your tongue with a soft brush or a tongue scraper twice daily.
Want to avoid future flare-ups?
Eat a well-balanced diet full of fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grains
Cut back on alcohol and tobacco—they’re tough on your mouth’s tissues
Manage stress with calming activities like deep breathing, light exercise, or meditation
See your dentist regularly—even if everything feels fine
Final thought: your tongue is a health barometer
These small bumps are typically harmless, but they can give you clues about your overall wellness. Paying attention to them is a small way of taking better care of yourself.
