Hi,

Thanks for asking the query,

Inflammed and swollen taste buds on tongue can be due to consumption of hot food, allergies to some food, trauma due to tongue biting, bacterail and viral infections.

A condition known as Geographic Tongue or erythema migrans is characterised by inflammation of taste buds and cracks on tongue surface, the condition is chronic and associated with stress, illness, hormonal changes.

I would suggest you to visit Dentist and get the checkup done.
Go for symptomatic treatment, maintain a good oral hygiene ,
Use antiseptic mouthwash solution.
Apply oral ointment cortisone acetate topically over the affected area.
Avoid eating of hot and spicy food stuffs.
For pain you can apply Mucopian oral ointment topicallly over the affected area.

Hope this helps out.

Regards.

hi there,

Your clinical hisoiry suggests you have developed a inflammatory condition of tongue known as GEOGRAPHIC TONGUE which shows road map like pattern formation over the tongue mucosa.

Appearence of inflammed taste buds indicates inflammation of tongue mucosa and it may be caused due to several reasons like deficiency or certain vitamins especially vitamin B12 and vitamin C.

Maintain good oral hygiene by practising regular mouth rinsing with lukewarm saline water or antiseptic mouthwash like betadine or chlorhexidine.

start with multivitamin supplements for 7 to 10 days and vitamin C lozenges will help in resolving the problem.

avoid alcohol , carbonated drinks , tobacco chewing and smoking as these may worsen the area affected.

you can apply topical oral antiseptics like dentogel over the affected which helps in giving soothing effect and reduces burning sensation.

i hope this helps ,

take care
