What Causes Swollen Taste Buds?
Hello,
My 16 y/o otherwise healthy and very active daughter showed me her tongue and indicated that feels as though her taste buds are swollen, it does appear so, as well as her tongue seems unusually red, as though she had been drinking kool-aid but she was not. Can you comment?
