I have had enlarged papillae for almost 2 years. During this time I have tried antiacid, teas, honey, saline rinse, salt water brushing tounge multiple times a day, stopped smoking all together, stopped drinking coffee, switched to organic toothpaste. It’s driving me nuts, it is not painful though but it’s unlike any pictures on the internet. Thy are very swollen and seem to go down my throat. Other symptoms I have are sleeping with my mouth wide open causing my mouth to dry out and mucus that smells like onion/garlic, tops of my cheeks are slightly swollen. I suspect a sinus infection or food allergy. I went to the doctor and he just told me to “look it up” but nothing has helped at all
