Enlarged papillae : If one or more of your taste buds becomes irritated, it can swell and form a bump on your tongue. Enlarged papillae of the tongue are considered normal and no treatment is needed.

Oral Surgeon: Have it examined by an oral surgeon. It may be nothing, or it may need to be removed. Pain has nothing to do with the severity of the situation.
