Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

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

As per your complain enlarged Circumvallate papillae can occur due to a number of reasons like Throat infection, acid reflux, allergic reaction to medicines or foods, burning with hot foods or chemical substances etc..
You need to consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated and treatment can be planned according to the exact cause of the problem and you will get relieved soon..
As of now you can do warm saline gargles, gargle with 1:1 solution of benadryl and milk of magnesia, suck ice pops and drink plenty of water.
Continue taking Ibuprofen..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
