Avatar n tn The tip of my tongue taste buds seem to be swollen, itches to the touch and hurts a little if I scrape my teeth on the tongue. Prior to that I used a tongue scraper multiple times to clean my tongue. It has been over 2 weeks now and there are no signs of healing. The tongue feels the same though the rest of the mouth is not that bad like it was before.
Avatar n tn ve had these abnormal spots at the back of my tongue in little clusters that look like inflamed taste buds. They are raised and they are the same color as the rest of my tongue. They are larger than the rest of the taste buds that are at the back of my tongue. Some of them are larger than others, but they do not affect the taste buds towards the center.They aren't itchy or smelly or anything.
Avatar n tn She gave me a mouth rinse to make it better, but it actually makes it hurt even more, and it usually bothers me more on the side and tip of my tongue. I noticed enlarged taste buds, but my tongue does not have a white coating and it's not red, just on a few small spots. It's very strange and I'm frustrated! Does anyone have any idea what could be? It also has a few "cuts" on top.
628151 tn?1224801643 About 2 months ago I noticed a few taste buds near the back of my tongue had grown in size and began to hurt. These taste buds are located in the middle of my tongue right in front of the row of my Circumvallate papillae taste buds and are raised and very hard. At first I thought it might be due to allergies but after a visit to the Dr. I ruled that. I have also started to develop a light yellow film on top of my tongue that is hard to scrape off with a toothbrush.
Avatar n tn Okay, this is really weird and I'm not sure even how to explain it so bear with me. The best way I can paint a picture is to say this - you know how when you brush your teeth, your tongue gets a layer of tooth paste on it? Or maybe when you're eating something and your tongue ends up colored? Well, this happened to me, except there's a circle in the back that doesn't have it. There's just a spot missing and what looks like part of a taste bud hanging off?
Avatar n tn Then I visited doctor(HIV specilist) she tested and result is nagative only. And she told taste buds and will go. But after some time my tongue bumps gone it was normal. After some time I got same red bumps and white taste buds. I am scary is it any STD? Please advise.
Avatar n tn I have a couple of bumps on the back of my tongue, they're the same color as my tongue and they don't hurt or anything like that, I just noticed them by brushing my teeth. I've had them for around 3 days now I think, and I'm really concerned about them and scared to tell my parents or go to a doctor yet. Do you have any suggestions on what it could be? I'm really scared it's an STD.
Avatar f tn Hey Tangg, The bumps you may be seeing in the back (posterior) part of the tongue may just be tongue papillae (taste buds). The ones which are in the back of the tongue are called circumvallate papillae. If you are still unsure and worried I would suggest contacting your dentist.
Avatar f tn Hello, since one month I have a reddish patch in the middle of my tongue, between the center and the back where are the big taste buds.I normally have a quite whitish tongue, and about one month ago this red part started to be very visible. It looks like the top of the taste buds "lost their hair", and got reddish. This just bothered me visually but not pain was there, until a couple of weeks ago, it started to feel like I "burned"my tongue.
Avatar n tn And now I have to flavor my water or just gulp it down without letting it sit on my taste buds.
Avatar f tn Sunday morning I woke up to find two taste buds on the tip of my tongue had changed from red to completely white. By mid afternoon the two white taste buds had several others in the same area gone white, oh and the pain, well I'm pretty sure most of us have accidentally bitten our tongue. Ok now multiply that pain by two. Ok now at around 10:00 Pm I checked my tongue, by this time there were a lot more white clusters, but 99.
Avatar f tn I recently had oral sex with a woman and about 2 weeks later I started to have this feeling like my tongue was burned. Looks like my taste buds are raised and red. I can't see anything in my throat, only on my tongue. I looked at the pictures of herpes and it seems really red and close together which isn't what I have. They seem like irritated taste buds. I can`t really find a picture that looks like what I have but i still have that burned feeling on my tongue after 3 and half day.
Avatar n tn i did one oral sex last month and i found some small red pimples in back of my tongue near taste buds.my partner was a female.I have tested all other STD test ,nothing is positve. Is HPV can transfer through fluid or not? Please help me to come out from this tansion.
Avatar m tn I have problems in my tongue for the last SIX MONTHS (white tongue, raised taste buds, hypersalivation, teeath marks in borders, sore taste buds sometimes) and my WBC is on the low side of the scale (just 4500). I don't think that's something to be happy about.
458406 tn?1219584858 Please can you help me, my Uncle had a Bypass 9 weeks ago, he has been doing fine, and is getting stronger by the day, since the Bypass operation, he had found that he can no longer enjoy his food, he can no longer taste things the same, he is all right when chewing the food and the taste is fine, but just as he is about to swallow his food, it hits the back of his mouth and tongue, and his taste buds, resulting in the food tasting bitter, or different, could this be a result of the medication
Avatar n tn i too had oral sex with my wife nonetheless, and about 2 days later it felt like i had a hair or something on the back of my tongue, i looked in the mirror and behold there were the normal larger taste buds, but there were also larger red bumps, similar to the taste buds. i am hella paranoid and think it is herpes, i'm going to the doctor to find out for sure what in the heck it is.
Avatar f tn I bet its your taste buds.
1644331 tn?1372333656 Now i have a decent sized area of my tongue that has what seem to me to be inflamed taste buds? They dont hurt alot but they do cause irritation it feels like i burnt the back of my tongue on something really hot..And when i swallow i "flex" my tongue a bit and it makes the area hurt. Im considering going to my dentist but wanted to post to see if someone might be able to say what it definitely is and if it might just go away by itself. Thanks for any help.
Avatar m tn The next day I noticed bumps at the back of my tongue and closer to the tip. Im not sure if they are bumps or warts. Some are big and some are small and i can move them with my finger. They are the same color as my tongue and they dont hurt. Could this be oral HPV...im really scared.
Avatar n tn There are taste buds onthe back of the tongue. It is possible that they became irritated for some reason. If the situation persists see an oral surgeon for a consultation.
Avatar m tn Then I was given a much stronger antibiotic and the infection went away after 3 months but I am still having white foamy mucus from my nose and a stuffy nose. Now my taste buds have brown tips on them. My tongue has not had brown freckles before. While taking the medicine I 1st noticed them, but now 3 weeks after the antibiotic are done and I have about 20 brown taste buds. I went to the dentist today and he said they are just taste buds. But I told him they have never been there before.
Avatar n tn Yes, it is possible that the anti-fungals caused the bitter taste in your mouth and the slightly swollen taste buds. These symptoms should go away after you discontinue the medications. If they do not, please consult with your doctor.
