Lie bumps are generally so called due to an old myth that if you lie, you get them. This, however, has nothing to do with the truth. As a rule, telling a lie cannot give you any bump.

However, small and sometimes rather large bumps on your tongue can appear periodically due to any reason. Realistically speaking, scientific research does not dig too deep into this particular phenomenon. So there is no proper scientific explanation as to why people get bumps on their tongue.

This is the reason there is no proper way to cure them either. There is a multitude of ways in which they can be taken care of at home. One of the most effective ones is to gargle with hot and salty water. This will make sure they reduce quickly. It will also make sure that they do not hurt as much and stop spreading as well. It is often believed that bumps in the mouth are caused due to indigestion. If this is the case, you can try to chew on some fresh mint leaves before bed time. This should take care of the problem by morning. Alternately, you can also have a glass of warm milk to which a couple of figs have been added. This will clean your stomach out in the morning as well. An excellent digestive is also a mixture of anise seeds and sugar crystals. You can have this not only for its digestive properties, but also for pleasant breath.
Another popular belief is also that bumps in the mouth are caused due to a deficiency of vitamin B. If this is the case, you can take a dose of vitamin B for a whole week. Do remember to consult with your physician before you do this however. It is unwise to take any kind of supplement without medical approval. You must also make it a point to take the medicine for a whole week, even though the bumps will probably recede in a day or two. It is better to complete the dosage than to leave it half way. If you cannot take the medication, you can add vitamin B to your diet. However, do not expect miraculous results with a mere change in diet. This will help you out on a long term basis, but may do nothing for the time being. Some foods you can eat are whole grain products, leafy greens and meat.
