Advice Or Treatment For Enlarged Papillae.
About four days ago I noticed my food taste was different. Cannot really taste sweets...some taste bitter....I feel like I have a strange taste in my mouth while eating food.....I checked my mouth and noticed what I believe are called papillae to be enlarged...There are two of them which are enlarged.. I cannot enjoy my meals and its really annoying. Please help on advice and or treatment for enlarged papillae. I really have tanken taste buds for granted and cannot take it any longer....I love food and nothing taste right.

Hi, The problem may be due to a viral infection. Please consult a dental surgeon as nothing can be suggested without examination. You may need antiviral medication . The condition may also be due to a fungal infection. So please do not self medicate yourself. Please seek proper professional treatment. Good luck!
