Why do I these tiny very painful bumps on the end of my tongue after eating fruit sometimes?

- alot of fruits can be rough.......pure and simple.......especially apples.....those just tear me up......its better to keep them out of the refrigerator......when theyre warm theyre much softer....
- It is an allergy.
- Allergies most likely after i eat pineapple or banana i get that or an itchy throat
- It could be from the acid in the fruit or it might not be from fruit at all, I get them all the time and the doctors say its from having upset stomache, gargle some warm salt water it will be gone in a few days.
- Could be allergies. Good luck, Kassandra
- It's probably allergies. Allergies to food can cause swollen tongues or painful bumps, watery eyes, blotchy skin spots, and swollen cheeks.
- It is more than likely just a minor irritation from the acid in the fruit. Try drinking milk after eating fruit and see if this helps. If not, don't ignore the problem. Have it looked at by your doctor. Besides being essential in speech, swallowing, and tasting food, your tongue serves as a "mirror" to your overall health and well being. The tongue is a valuable indicator of many underlying conditions, illnesses, and disorders and that is why doctors check your tongue as well as other soft tissues when he does your oral exam. A glossy smooth, shiny, and painful tongue may indicate iron deficiency anemia or lack of vitamin B-12. A pale tongue can hint at possible leukemia. A white raised or ulcerated spot on the tongue can be cancerous or pre-cancerous. Whitish "corrugated" edges of the tongue can be as serious as a signal of AIDS, or as simple as a tongue chewing habit. The tongue can be a sure giveaway of alcohol or tobacco habits. Whitish patches that easily scrape off may be a fungal infection.
- my step son told me to put salt o it and rub it...it kinda hurts but then its gone
