What Causes Taste Buds To Be Raised And Sinus Infection?

I've recently had a sinus infection. And prior to that I had digestive problems (don't know if it was an infection) but around the same time of my digestive problem I developed raised taste buds (not painful) on the side of the tongue. I've had these raised taste buds for a little over a month.
