eruptive lingual papillitis (bumps on tongue)

Dd started with a sore tongue and then got bumps on the tip of her tongue, a week later I got them, then Dh and then Mil..
Just a sore tongue, pinhead ulcers or swollen tastebuds at the tip.
Dr said it was bacterial? I wasn't so convinced so I went back, now it's aptheous ulcers? Still not convinced.
I'm certain it's eruptive lingual papillitis, but there seems to be no cure or even research as to what causes it so pointless going back to gp?
Anyone had this?

P.s I posted in health and got no response and thought I might get more traffic here..

I know this thread is old but for what its worth I'm sure I've just had this! Two weeks ago my 15 month old was not herself at all, drooling, whining, not eating or sleeping very well and she had a little sore in the corner of her mouth. I didn't notice her tongue really and she can't talk and tell me if it hurts but last week my tongue started to hurt. At first I thought I must have burnt it on something as that is how it felt but as time went on and it got more irritating I started to google and found this thread. I have very small bumps on just the tip of my tongue and an uncomfortable burning sensation. I'm on day 10 now and its only JUST starting to get better. Weirdest illness we've ever had! Am now just waiting for my older two to complain about sore tongues. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14996101

Doc years ago said chronic mouth ulcers and made le gargle with anti biotics which always cleared them up but doc now is saying viral infection and that pills wont work. Well theyve always worked the last few years!!!

I know Kali Iv been going mad wanting to know what Iv had but this is definitely what we have all had in our house. Just wish there was more info on it so I could see how long I'll probably have it
On that note though my mouth feels fine today...

Not around the mouth I think its just the papilla on the tip of the tongue.

I used to get this/mouth ulcers often. I always used Anbesol, it stopped the pain and seemed to get rid of the problem fairly quickly. HTH

Yeah it's more a discomfort than pain jenecho.. it was painful at first but just seems to be mild pain now.
I have a 7 month old ds do either of you know if it's dangerous for him? We have all avoided kissing him but I would imagine if Dh and I have caught it that it's probably airbourne?

Sorry to hear you've been run down with it but glad someone else has experienced this.. was starting to think it would never go away!
Lucille did u ever get cold sores before you had this virus?

LucilleBluth · 21/01/2014 21:03

Yes, we had this. I had it and gave to DH and DS1. It eventually went away without treatment but it left me feeling run down and I'm convinced it did something to my immune system, I got frequent colds and cold sores for a year after, it seems to have died down now.

We had this for a few months over the summer, my daughter had it at first then myself and dh realised we both had it too, kept coming and going for weeks at a time but seems to have stopped now.

don't think there is anything you can do, but i do sympathize, it drove us mad, such a small thing but when you have multiple spots on your tongue all the time its pretty uncomfortable

This is basically what it is.

Pimples on Tongue in Children

When children develop pimples on tongue it may not be the same as in case of adults. In adults the condition is Transient Lingual Papillitis while in kids it is Eruptive Lingual Papillitis. The symptoms of both the conditions are similar. The difference is that Eruptive Lingual Papillitis is contagious. This condition usually affects children when they are approx 5 years old. There is not sufficient information on Pimples on tongue in children. Due to its contagious nature experts believe that the condition is rather an infection.
