Causes and treatments of bumps at the base of the tongue

The appearance of bumps at the root of the tongue coating is where people need to pay special attention. Generally speaking, the causes of bumps at the base of people's tongue coating are mostly related to the following reasons.

Causes of pimples at the root of tongue coating:

1. The "red bumps" at the root of the human tongue are called circumvallate papillae. There are more than 10 circumvallate papillae, located in front of the tongue margin groove. It is large in shape, with a flat top. The mucosa around the nipple is sunken to form a groove, and there are many taste buds in the epithelium on both sides of the groove.

2. There are many serous taste glands in the lamina propria, and the ducts open at the bottom of the groove. The thin liquid secreted by the taste glands continuously washes away food debris on the surface of the taste buds, so that the taste buds can continue to receive material stimulation. The taste sensed by taste buds can be divided into four types: sweet, sour, bitter and salty.

3. Other tastes, such as astringency and spiciness, are a fusion of these four. The taste buds that sense sweetness are more numerous on the tip of the tongue; the taste buds that sense sourness are more numerous on the back half of the tongue.

4. The taste buds that sense bitterness are concentrated at the root of the tongue; the taste buds that sense saltiness are at the tip of the tongue and the front half of both sides of the tongue. So a lot of times. The small bumps we see at the root of the tongue are actually normal tissue.

What to do if there is a pimple on the base of the tongue?

1. The best breakfast is black rice porridge, which is cooked and broken into pieces. 1-2 eggs are then stirred and boiled in a pot. Lunch and dinner are staple foods plus meat and vegetables. The main ones are beef, pork, chicken, potatoes, bok choy, Chinese cabbage, and cabbage.

You can eat shrimps 1-2 times and eels 1-2 times a week. Eat these dishes in different ways. Try to stew them until they are well-cooked to facilitate gastrointestinal digestion and absorption.

Take one spoonful of Guyuan paste once a day and mix it with black rice paste before eating. Every morning on an empty stomach, beat an egg in a bowl, stir thoroughly and set aside. Add 2 slices of ginger + 8 red dates (cut) and water, bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer for 15 minutes.

Use boiling water to rinse eggs, and drink the egg puree while it is warm. It can warm the stomach and intestines, remove gastrointestinal cold, repair damaged gastrointestinal mucosa, and stimulate appetite. After a week, switch to boiling eggs with 1 slice of ginger + 8 red dates, and you can keep eating it all year round.

2. Avoid eating anything cold, including river fish or shrimps, and avoid eating spicy, greasy, or irritating foods. Do not eat common foods that purge gas, soothe the liver and regulate qi, such as radish, hawthorn, betel nut, coriander, perilla leaves, mint, kumquat, chrysanthemum, rose, papaya, etc.

Do not eat common diuretic, diuretic and dehumidifying foods such as coix seed, poria cocos, red bean, winter melon, watermelon, cucumber, carp, crucian carp, day lily, lettuce, etc.
