Weird bumps on back of tongue white film

I feel like i'm looking inside of my own mouth! I'm wondering did you or anybody else whose tongue looks similar ever had Covid? I had Covid in November of 2020 & afterwards it seems like my mouth changed! I've always had bumps at the back of my tongue but they are so much larger now & I have a constant white film on my tongue along with the inflamed taste buds at the tip of my tongue. It's not thrush, I hadve no idea what it is & I can't get rid of it.

hi im just checking i have these forming on the back of my tongue they arent dangerous are they ?? i can get rid of them

i would check for a ureaplasma infection gentitally. it is possible that you could have caught it through oral sex. i dont believe there is an oral test for ureaplasma but i would suggest looking into it. it is not normal looking. my mouth is similar to yours and it came about after having oral sex tested genitally for ureaplasma and positive.

Hey there!

I had a very bad case of oral thrush that unfortunately was not caught by the doctors before it spread to the esophagus & I couldn't swallow regular food for 4 weeks (weighed 98 pounds) - so definitely run back to get a prescription and insist on it. I personally caught it right before it started to get into the nervous system I think (don't ask me why doctors didn't identify it early on and I had to do that myself & then they confirmed it with a throat culture. Seems pretty easy to identify from just a physical exam if it's in the tongue - mine was in tongue, throat, esophagus). It wasn't until I looked in the mirror & noticed a super white tongue. So my thrush was pretty resistant to all of the medications I tried, with the exception of one: Itracanazole. Since I've stopped taking itracanazole, I think it's coming back into my throat as of today. I was completely recovered on itracanazole though and had a normal diet, so I am trying to see if there is a way I can take this medication long term.

The "fuzzy" feeling you have is definitely thrush. Hopefully you've gotten it treated since your post! I have no idea what causes mine - don't have any of the predisposing factors as far as I know.

hey! did you ever find a way to get rid of them?

Literally sameeeee, i recently got sick i think it was hard for me to swallow and my nose was very runny, and then i got a little better and im not sure when the bumps appeared on my tongue but its still feels like something is kinda stuck in my throat and my throat itches from time to time and im literally freaking out because i dont know what it is and the internet is making my anxiety hella worse, did you get an update on what it was ????

been going through the exact same! got ill for almost a month then suddenly the bump on the back of the tongue appeared and now it feels like there is something stuck in my throat... i am also freaking out and getting anxious about it

Same here I have being with the same thing don't know what is it am getting afraid....

i am feeling like there is something in my throat since weeks now i have patches in my tongue i realy need help

hey did the bumps ever go away along with the white film on your tongue and the little things that pop up on your tongue ?

Signs of infection.

I had mine for 2yrs and i think its triggered by foods i sometimes eat like salty or acidic and especially spicy foods... i tend to consume a lot of salty n acidic n spicy foods during my red month. Lol. Oh well, anyways i think it could root from diet but also stress.., i haven't been stressed at all so idk why it hasn't went away, so i assumed its diet...

Did you ever get diagnosed? Please reply, I have this and I am panicking.

Check with the dentist again and do not be afraid to ask lots of questions.

I have the same problem I drink a lot of wine and am wondering if this is the cause, does anyone else drink to much wine or alcohol
