Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..
I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...
As per your complain it seems that you have inflamed papillae and can be commonly due to trauma to the tongue tip, eating or drinking something very hot, oral infections, allergies etc..
The
sore throat and enlarged lymph nodes is a sign of
throat infection which can be bacterial or viral in nature..
Nothing to worry and for inflamed papilla do warm saline gargles..
Take anti-inflammatory painkillers like
Ibuprofen for relief from pain and inflammation..
Suck on ice pops for relief..
For throat infection take
Azithromycin 500 mg once a day for 5 days..
Take Ibuprofen for pain..
Chew a
Vitamin C pellet daily.
Avoid spicy and hard foods..
Drink plenty of water..
Steam inhalations can help..
In case if the papillae does not start resolving in next 3 to 4 days consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated for any underlying diseases causing inflamed papillae..
Hope this information helps..
Thanks and regards..
Dr.Honey Nandwani Arora.
