Tongue Pimples

For the past 2 days I have had some sore bumps on the side of my tongue, how do i get rid of them? they hurt?

I don't know what they are called. I am guessing canker sores but I am not sure. They hurt when I eat something salty or with acid in them. I can't eat anything with out them hurting. Even when I am not eating they hurt. How do I get rid of them. I have a party to go to today and I would like to have some Birthday cake, but i don't know if i can with these buggers.

1. I agree with canker soars,or it could be fever blisters. Canker Soars will pop In about three days. Either way, you have to put up with them untill they go away.
2. rinse often with salt water and avoid foods with alot of acid...citrus fruits, tomatoes etc.will be gone in a couple of days
3. they can be canker sores or enlarged taste buds if they dont go away in one week? see your dentist to let him/her examine your mouth for possibly something more serious
4. Sounds like you have canker sores. If you can bear with them, theyll be gone in a few days. To help speed the healing process though, you should try rinsing with salt water several times a day, or go the drug store and pick up a topical pain reliever like Anbesol. Hang in there, those painful little suckers will be gone very soon!
5. Most likely they are canker sores,rinse ur mouth with salty water ( yes,i know,but put up with the pain for awhile) then wait around 3-5 days for them to pop on their own
6. i know this sounds crazy but my mom tell me when you get those it is because your stomach is upset do something to settle your stomach and they should go away they do for me hope this helps try milk or antacids maybe pepto bismal
7. Its Canker Sore. I do always have it esp when I get tired of too much work, stress, fatigue and the like. Healing process depends on the person's body. As what others advise, salt soak in water and gargle it, may and may not cure it. I had done it before. I had used Alum too as per advised, it didn't cure also. I was given something "violet" liquid type from Thailand, no avail also. The best thing that cured mine so easily is a medicine I got from a Doctor of Internal Medicine. I have a powder medicine to drink (3x a day if the pain is so tense). Then an oitment to be applied on the canker sore. This oitment is called "Kenalog" in alphabetical wording. It would really help stop the pain and will be cured in a day or two, if not sever. For severe ones, in just a week but won't feel the pain as long as you will take the medicine. Oitment must be applied 2 or 3 times a day, every after meal and before sleeping. *So try to check at your nearest drug store if they have available oitment like this or maybe in another language but the same oitment. For the powder medicine, Doctor's prescription is needed as you might have an allergy reaction. It is called "hange shashin tou"
