Noticed Raised Bps On Side Of The Tongue

Hypertrophied foliate papillae of the tongue
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thank you for asking the question.
After carefully examining the pictures, I believe that the tongue is entirely normal, with the exception of a few slightly swollen and inflamed foliate papillae.
The friction between the tongue and the nearby teeth would be the primary cause of the irritation over the papillae. Be at ease! The little irritation on the taste bud is completely natural.
My recommendation to you is:
1. Sip a lot of lukewarm water.
2. Limit your consumption of coffee and tea.
3. Steer clear of chips and other foods with sharp edges.
I hope that clarifies your question. Return if you have any other questions.
