A member asked:
Can really spicy foods cause the taste buds to irritate, hurt a bit and swell a bit and make that last for a couple of days?
5 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Yes: Avoid spicy foods, really hot foods, alcohol and smoking...Anything that can cause irritation for several days. If the condition does not improve, see your dentist or an oral surgeon for an examination.

Yes: Give it a few days to heal. If there is no improvement in a week than i would see a dentist for an evaluation.

Yes it can: Severely spicy foods can cause taste buds to get inflamed and swell up for a period of time depending on the severity of the spice and the sensitivity of the personae to those spices, and then it evantually heals..
