I went to the doctor and age told me it came from drinking alcohol and eating hot foods. I also did warm salt gargles. I was wondering do you know what I could do to get rid of them?

As per your complain swollen taste buds at the back of tongue seems to be swollen Circumvallete Papillae and can occur due a number of causes like burning with hot foods and concentrated chemical substance like concentrated solutions of mouth wash, throat infection, allergies, acid reflux etc..
