The papillae on my tongue swelled up and i got a canker sore after eating a plum. other plums in the same box caused me no problems. what happened?

Trauma: It is possible that you bit your tongue in eating all of the dried plums and this causes your tongue swelling and canker sore.

Could be trauma: Caused from accidental tongue biting especially since future plums from the same box have caused you no further problems. Hope this helps.
