Hello,
Thanks for writing to us.
Heightened sense of taste can be due to-elongation or protrusion of papillae as well as taste buds on tongue.
I would advice you to avoid too much intake of spicy foods.
Smoking as well as tobacco chewing has to be avoided.
Avoid scraping tongue with heavy force.
Use blunt tongue scrapers.
Plenty of fluids as well as nutritional supplements has to be administered.
Hope this helps.
