Can Allergies Cause Tongue Bumps?
An allergic reaction may cause unusual bumps to appear on the tongue. Food intolerance or allergies to pollen are common causes. These allergic reactions may cause tongue bumps and swelling when the immune system releases histamines.
Some people may have oral allergies, a health condition triggered by certain fresh fruits or vegetables. When eaten, allergens affect the mouth and tongue. Any food can cause an allergy, but fresh foods with certain pollens, such as apples, melons and pineapples, are common culprits.4‘Food Allergy.’ MedlinePlus - Health Information from the National Library of Medicine, medlineplus.gov/ency/article/000817.htm
