Hi I ate a couple of mustard pretzels and all of the sudden my tongue hurt. I looked in the mirror and it had 2 bumps on the tip of the tongue and its black and blue at the spot and under the tongue at the tip. What could of caused that. Right now the bumps went away but it is still black and blue. Thank you
Hi, thanks for sharing your health concerns with Chat Doctor! Well, If I were your treating Doctor for this case of black and blue bumps on my tongue after eating mustard, I would consider some defense mechanism of your body lymphoid tissue within the tongue mucosa against any chemical substance in the food item! There might be some inflammation, but this is self-limiting and just avoid hot/spicy foods and take cold things! Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow-up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions. Wishing you good health.
