Can nausea/vomiting bring about painful, white bumps on back of tongue, near throat?

I've been having a lot of nausea and vomiting in my pregnancy and was recently prescribed Zofran to help cope. When I started the meds, I developed these white little bumps on the back of my tongue, it hurts to chew/swallow food, sometimes talk. HAS ANYONE ELSE GOTTEN THESE, COULD THEY BE CAUSED BY THE VOMITING or maybe it's just a reaction to the medicine?

    I had those bumps, and it hurt very badly. I was told it was from the acids in your stomach. I took diclectin and it didint work for me. I had to wait it out. I am 20 weeks and I find i throw up way less now, probably 3 times a week or less.

    Stay away from salty, vinegar and hope it heals.

    That's wierd because the symptoms that you have almost sound like you have strep throat or mono. If you think it's from the medication you might be having an allergic reaction. When you take medication that is the only time you would have a reaction like that. I would discontinue use if I were you and call your doctor to find out what you should do. And if you're vomiting so much make sure to drink water constantly. I got sick while pregnant and threw up so much that I had to be hooked to an I.V. for four hours at the hospital because I was so dehydrated. Call your doctor.

    I am now 4 1/2 months and I have THRUSH. I have had it ever since I found out that I was pregnant (at about 1 month). It is little white spots that sometimes turn into patches and my throat stays pretty sore, but my doc has given me meds to help clear it up. Thrush is brought on by pregnancy, stress and/or antibiotic use. This sounds like you probably do have thrush since you have probably outgrown the prime age for strep throat. Consult your doctor and have it checked out asap, it is a viral infection and can make you sicker than you already are without treatment. Hope this info helps. Good luck and get well soon.

    It sounds like a reaction to the meds to me, but you could have and infection like strep throat causing the bumps. Get check out by your doc.

    I would call your doctor right away. Its not a good idea to take medication during pregnancy, even those perscribed if they can otherwise be avoided. And reactions not only effect you but the baby. So if you think you're having a reaction to the medication, check with your doctor right away.

    I think that you should get up in the morning and make a doctors appointment. That is the only place you can get the help you need for your symptoms. I hope that everything is okay for you during the rest of your pregnancy, sweetie :)

    I wouldn't take any chances. Check with your Dr. If you are having a reaction to the medication who's to say that your baby isn't also.

    You may be allergic or you may have thrush (yeast infection of the mouth). Go see your doctor so he can prescribe something.
