hello

thank you for trusting HCM

Dear irritation and chemical may cause enlarged papille appears as a bumps,but other possibilities like glossitis,papillitis may present like this.
some times lie papillitis (transient lingual papillitis)may present like this.


Treated with rinsing and gargling with salt water
brushing your teeth at least twice daily, and using mouthwash to rid the mouth of harmful bacteria
avoiding irritating foods (eating blander, smooth foods may be beneficial)
taking OTC topical treatments like Zilactin, which cover the bumps like a bandage, protecting them from friction that could irritate them further.

if symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly. I think I answered to your question if you have more questions feel free to ask.

take care
