These things usually heal of their own accord. Have to cut back on the sauce, beer and or smoke. From another forum. http://forums.obgyn.net/pcos/PCOS.0305/0260.html >Well, here is my theory.

Test it and let me know. -- Cathy "Both the development and maintenance of taste buds is dependent on nerve innervation. If the nerve innervating taste buds is cut, the taste buds degenerate, and do not reappear until the nerve reinnervates the tissue. It is not know how the nerve activates taste bud formation, and only specific nerves will regenerate taste buds. Cells within the taste bud have a limited life span of approximately ten days to two weeks. Therefore, new taste cells must continually differentiate to replace dying taste cells, and cells at a variety of different developmental stages are present within a single taste bud. In consequence, the synapses between taste receptor cells and nerves must constantly be remodeled. Several morphologically distinct cells can be distinguished within a single taste bud; these different cell types may represent different stages in the development of a taste cell."

Answer Brian - of course I cannot be sure without examining you, but it is not uncommon for the taste buds which are on the surface of the tongue to become inflamed. My suggestion is to see an oral and maxillofacial surgeon if the bumps remain for greater that 10 days. [/quote]

Ok. Not sure what has inflamed the three. Perhaps it was the beer, the spicy brown sauce or the smoke, but it feels like I`ve got a hair permanently stuck to the roof of my mouth!!
Has anyone else had this problem? Were you able to use a cream or something or did you just wait it out?
Serious and not so serious advice is welcome!
