Suggest Treatment To Get Rid Of Swollen Taste Buds?
I have a taste bud that is larger than normal on the tip of my tongue. It s not painful and it s not an abnormal color. It s just in the way when talking and eating. I ve tried applying cold to it and nothing happened. How can I remove it or reduce its size?

It is probably a retention cyst- by itself it is harmless, but if it interferes with eating or talking, it must be removed by surgery.
