How To Cure Painful Swollen Papillae On The Tongue?
I am an 18 year old female and the pappilae on the back of my tongue are enlarged and sore. there is also white film that will not scrape off. I've seen many doctors. the infectious disease specialist said he has never seen pappilae look like that and referred us to an ENTspecialist. my dentist said they are big and hard whereas they should be soft. The ENT said they are fine and normal. Two other doctors agreed with me that they are not normal. I've tried antibiotics, fungal mouth rinse, different gargles, and had every blood test under the sun. Do you have any suggestions on how to fix this and give me relief?
