What's going on with the little red spots on the tip of my tongue?

The health of the body can be observed and treated from some details. For example, observing the tongue is a commonly used diagnostic method. This is also the essence of Chinese medicine diagnosis. The tongue is the most important organ in the human body. The health of the tongue is closely related to other parts of the body, and the tongue often shows symptoms due to diseases in other parts of the body. For example, small red spots on the tip of the tongue are a common phenomenon, but most people do not take it seriously, resulting in serious consequences. Let’s take a look at the explanation of what the little red spots on the tip of the tongue are. I hope everyone can understand this knowledge.

What is the reason for the red spots on the tongue?

1. There are many small protrusions on the mucosal surface of the dorsum of the tongue, called lingual papillae. The lingual papillae are divided into: filiform papillae, which are mainly distributed on the dorsum of the tongue, fungiform papillae, which are located at the tip and lateral margins of the tongue, circumflex papillae, which are arranged in a row in front of the threshold groove, and foliate papillae, which are located at the posterior part of the lateral margins of the tongue.

2. Red bumps on the back of the tongue indicate kidney inflammation. White tongue coating indicates severe coldness in the stomach and poor digestive function. The small red spots on the tongue are generally caused by excessive liver fire. The liver fire attacks the stomach, so there will be thick tongue coating, bitter and astringent taste in the mouth, less fluid, easy thirst, and small red spots on the tongue, which will hurt, it should be fire poison. You can drink some cold soup to reduce liver fire, drink more boiled water, eat more cool foods and get enough sleep. This situation usually occurs when staying up late. If it is more serious, it is recommended to take some medicine to reduce fire.

3. If there are small red spots on the tongue, you may also consider it as a manifestation of oral ulcers, which are superficial ulcers occurring on the oral mucosa. It is recommended that you go to the oral department of a hospital for treatment.
