Hi.
Thanks for the query..

Well, a purple taste bud on the back of tongue when there was an ongoing throat infection can be most probably due to inflammation of the taste bud due to infection..

However a picture can help in better understanding..

So kindly click a picture of the taste bud nad upload it here so that I can advise you better..

Please revert back with a clear picture..

Thanks.
