my circumvallate papilla on my tonuge are very large and white. It s hard to eat anything salty or sharp, or battered. Can this be from percocet reaction / allergy? I am taking them for a week now, recovering from hernia repair surgery, they make me itchy all over when I take them. Just wondered if they could affect my tongue in this way??
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor forum, i am glad you posted your query, according to the dental history I would like to inform you that papillae over the tongue are rarely affected by an allergic reaction, during prolonged illness, it may enlarge a little but usually revert to normal following recovery from the illness and with a healthy diet. Kindly maintain proper oral hygiene, you can use an antibacterial mouth wash(twice/day).I hope I answered your query, wish you good health.
