Thanks for using Health Care Magic.

Read your query.

Enlarged circumvallate papillae usually occurs due to few factors including hot and spicy food, gastro esophageal reflux and some infection, excessive smoking and canker sores.

You should not worry as it is a not a condition which is dangerous.

Maintain a good oral hygiene , reduce hot and spicy food. If you smoke excessively reduce smoking.

Use saline water gargling. Usually it will subside on its own.

If still worried consult a oral surgeon and have it checked.

Hope this was helpful.

Thanks and regards.
