Foliate papillitis: Foliate Papillae are taste buds on the sides of the back of the tongue that recognize bitter flavors like lemon & vinegar. Foliate Papillitis is inflammation caused by local irritation, dental issues, minor infections, & allergies to foods, antibiotics, or even oral sex. Any time inflammation becomes chronic there is risk for more serious problems. Shaduolika (herb), steroids, or NSAIDS can help
