What Causes Swelling Of Foliate Papilla On Right Side Of Tongue?

I have what appears to be a swollen foliate papilla on the right side of my tongue. It is dome shaped and the same color as the surrounding tissue. The foliate papillae on the other side of my tongue are much smaller. Could this be serious?
