Enlarged taste buds with white patches on tongue. what are some possibilities as to what may have caused this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
White patches: This could be any number of things, both normal and abnormal. An accurate answer and diagnosis requires additional information and a thorough clinical and visual examination. Any lesion in your mouth that does not resolve within 7-10 days needs to be examined. Call your dentist for an appointment.
