Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain some individuals have slightly enlarged tongue papillae normally also and not necessarily inflamed or swollen..
While mild inflammation can also occur due to taking spicy or hot food or concentrated solutions of mouth wash..
Mild allergic reaction can also cause the same..
As you do not have any pain or discomfort, you need not to worry as there seems nothing serious..
You can do warm saline gargles..
Take a multivitamin tablet daily..
Avoid very hot and spicy food..
Drink plenty of cool water and suck ice pops..
Maintain a good Oral hygiene..
In case if still there is no improvement you can consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like Blood tests to look for iron and Vitamin B12 levels,Haemoglobin %, allergic tests can be done to rule out the exact cause and treat you accordingly..


Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
