Does Allergies Cause Enlarged Circumvalate Papillae Or Mucoceles?

Can allergies cause enlarged circumvalate papillae or mucoceles? My name is Brian and I'm a 20 year old male with no serious medial history. The allergy levels are very high in my area and I noticed a mucocele that has not changed in size for the past month. Also, my circumvalate papillae seem larger then normal. Could this be due to allergies?

It could be but not entirely because of allergies. Rupture or obstructed salivary glands could be the cause. Similarly local irritations, inflammation and allergies can cause enlarged papillae.

Local causes and allergies may settle on its own usually in 10 days. Persistent cases may have other underlying causes too.

To help ease allergies and local inflammations, saline gargles are usually done everywhere on globe. But what people know in India is they gargle with turmeric powder too. It's a natural antiseptic, bacteriostatic, antiinflammatory, anti allergic too. Cleaning the bowels with herbal powders would add to tremendous speedy recovery.

Hope it helps.
