How do you: know it's a "taste bud" At any rate TONGUE irritation should be evaluated by your Oral Health Provider! Hope this is helpful Dr Z

Hi. I've recently started feeling that my pallet and throat is becoming itchy and irritated, not more so of a sore feeling. However I seem to cough in order just to get the irritation feeling away. I still have my sense of taste. I'm just concerned. ?
