If you have any idea how to help me please tell me.
Hi. Thanks for the query. A fluid filled small bump with a white spot is an abscess formed due to infection in the region of pricking.... The area must have got infected with the bacteria leading to formation of an abscess. You need not worry and take a short course of antibiotics for 5 days and maintain a good Oral hygiene. You can also apply oral antimicrobial ointment (brand as per availability) over the abscess. For pain, you can take Advil. Salt water rinses will help. Hy Chat Doctor. Do not try to wear a stud over the tongue until it has completely. Hope this helps. Regards.
