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?

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.
