Suggest Remedy For Enlarged Taste Buds With Yellow Coating On Tongue
For the past few days, the taste buds at the back of my tongue have been enlarged, I also have a thick, whitish, yellow coating on the top of my tongue. It doesn't hurt, it just feels like I have food on the back of my tongue. Along with these symptoms, I am also experiencing a certain taste when I swallow, it's the same taste I had when I had my wisdom teeth removed. There aren't any warts or lesions on the side of my tongue, cheeks, or mouth. It's just the funny taste, coating, and enlarged taste buds. I have no idea what it could be.

Thanks for using Health Care Magic.

Yellow coating is not a acute worrisome condition ,if it is dealt with properly.It can be due to a variety of factors including poor oral hygiene,fever ,dehydration,digestive problems,certain medicines and many others.
The enlarged papillae on the tongue can be due to the Vitamin B12 deficiency,oral candidiasis,having spicy intake of food or any trauma,any medications.
*I would advice you to clean your tongue regularly with a soft toothbrush or a tongue scrapper.
*If you smoke or take tobacco ,stop it.
* Drink lots of water and keep hydrated as this will also reduce yellow tongue.
* If you have any issues with digestion ,get it treated with your doctor.
*Increase fiber content in your food and start with multivitamins.
If the yellow tongue and related symptoms are still persisting ,visit you Physician for further investigations and treatment.
Hope this was helpful.
Thanks and regards.
