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 doesnt 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, its the same taste I had when I had my wisdom teeth removed. There arent any warts or lesions on the side of my tongue, cheeks, or mouth. Its just the funny taste, coating, and enlarged taste buds. I have no idea what it could be.
