What Causes Foliate Papillae On Right Side Tongue To Be Enlarged?
I had surgery a year ago to remove a salivary gland on the floor of my mouth and since then I noticed that the foliate papillae on the right side of my tongue is enlarged but not sore at all and has been like that for months with no changes at all. What could it be? Thanks

Hello!Thank you for posting here.
Enlargement of the papilla only on the right side can be due to a injury or irritation during the surgery.You mentioned there is no burning sensation or pain.There is nothing you have to be worry about.You must see your dentist if it becomes symptomatic like painful,increase in size or burning.
Take becosules for 1 month.
Check for anemic symptoms.You must get it treated first if you are anemic or have acid regurgitation.
Hope this helps.
