accessdate=2007-10-30] Lie bumps are often attributed to irritation of the tongue's papillae (taste buds ) by sharp food or teeth. However, very little has been written about this condition in scientific articles or textbooks and scientific studies have failed to produce a definite cause. Possible causes include: "stress, gastrointestinal upset, menstruation, acidic or sour food, and local trauma" (direct physical irritation) of the tongue.Treatment
There is no specific treatment for this problem, other than using ice or numbing medicines to ease the pain. cite web
