A few days ago, the back of my mouth became slightly irritated but I thought nothing of it...until last night, when it started to become painful to swallow food.
I looked in the mirror, stuck my tongue out and was horrified to find that there were numerous swollen bumps on the back of my tongue. 0_o
I didn't want to go another day without getting this checked out and I went to the doctor this morning. He told me that they are enlarged taste buds that became irritated in response to something I ate. He said the mostly likely culprit was something really spicy/hot.
My mind was boggled, because I eat really hot food all the damn time. Then I thought to myself, "What the hell NEW have I eaten that was hot?" Then I remembered that I bought some Tostidos Salda dip (the hot kind) about a week ago. I've never had the Hot kind, as I usually just get Mild.
He said that they go away on their own, and if I wanted, I could use chloraseptic to dull the pain...and to gargle with peroxide.
Has this ever happened to anyone else? When I saw those bumps, they scared the shit outta me. :lol
