Brief Answer:
Benign raised papillae of the tongue side surface

Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome

I appreciate your concern

These are raised papillae of the tongue side surface and are commonly present. They are usually benign. If they enlarge or are associated with recurrent ulceration then B complex , folate and doxycycline can be advised. If there is enlargement in size and persistence leading to obstruction/difficulty in swallowing etc then oral brush biopsy can be considered, in consult with an oral physician.

Wishing you best of health

Thanks

Hello.

Yes, for the time being there is no need to worry.

By inflamed taste buds , you are most likely referring to aphthous ulcers for which the same treatment can be used i.e B complex vitamins , folate and doxycycline or azithromycin course after consulting your doctor.

Let me know if you have any query.

Thanks
