Painful enlarged (fungiform) papillae in tongue for 1 week. it is very small, hardly noticeable, same colour as the tongue, but very painful (pain reflects)... what to do to make it get better?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Papillitis is caused by stress, smoking, hormonal imbalances or vitamin deficiencies. They usually go away in 7-10 days. Treatment includes correcting the causative problem, and controlling inflammation/pain with ice on the tongue, baking soda and gargling with salt water.
