I was eating my lunch, and I opened a tuna can that I mixed with salad after I had tofu that I mixed with strawberries overnight. One of these items caused my mouth go almost on fire immediately. I had a reaction: The roof of my mouth had a lesion, my lips inside went white, and my tongue had some bumps like pimples. I have no idea what it was. All of the symptoms eventually went away, but I don't know what caused them. Was this comment helpful?Yes

I got sick like a week ago and I have had this nasty taste in my mouth and my tongue has been feeling weird. I went to the doctor and he said I was sick and was going to give me a prescription for amoxicillin. Then he looked in my mouth again and asked if my tongue hurt and I said no. Now the next day I looked at my tongue and there are similar bumps they are part of my tongue, but they are sticking up and they feel funny and there are bigger bumps on the back of my tongue. They don't hurt, but are bigger and don't look like the other bumps.
