Thanks for writing in, and I understand your concern. Please attach a photograph of your tongue for proper evaluation.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I have seen the photographs attached (attachment removed to protect the patient's identity). There are a few swollen tongue papillae in the back portion of the tongue and a few in the front of the tongue. A proper assessment can be done if you share the following information; Do you have any acid reflux problems? Do you have any sore throat or pharyngitis, or recent fever? Do you have any stress? Do you have any food allergies, or do you take spicy foods? Is there any pain or burning or itching or tingling sensation over the swollen taste buds? I hope this has helped you. Kindly follow up with the answers. Thank you.

It is a transient inflammation of taste buds and is expected to heal or become normal in a few weeks. It is good that you do not have pain or burning sensation in the swollen papillae. I would suggest you take Vitamin B complex tablet for 15 days as vitamin B deficiency can cause swollen tongue buds. Apart from this, do you have any other symptoms in the oral cavity? I hope this has helped you. Kindly follow up with the answers. Thank you.

STD (sexually transmitted disease) has a different presentation in the oral cavity, and it depends on the type of STD. Its presentation could be a cold sore, oral blisters, red patches, etc. I do not think it is an STD. It is a transient inflammation of the tongue papillae. I would suggest the following: Take Vitamin B complex once a day for 15 days. Consult a specialist, talk with them and take the medicines with their consent. Gargle with a mixture of lukewarm water and salt three times a day. Maintain proper oral hygiene. Brush after every meal. Avoid spicy or acidic foods. I hope this has helped you. Thank you.

The taste buds typically regenerate themselves about every one to two weeks. If there is no major inciting factor or cause, it should suppress in a week or two. I suggest taking vitamin tablets and other measures as suggested above. I hope you find this answer helpful. Thank you.

It should not be inflamed for the above mentioned days. That is why I suggested you to take Vitamin B complex with Zinc mineral capsule once a day. If the cause is due to vitamin deficiency, it will help. I hope this has helped you out. Thank you.
