My taste buds appear to very red, tongue almost feels swollen. Mouth tastes very bitter. Seems like the same thing that happened when I was using tissue paper a lot during a job, and putting my finger to my mouth to moisten it. Althougt since realizing this, have obviously stopped. It seems to only happen at work when Im in the back room lately. I work at a shoe store. After being home for a few hours, it goes away but returns when Im at work.
Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you have swollen tongue and red taste buds which seems to be due to allergic reaction. I would suggest you to consult allergic medicine specialist and go for complete examination. You should get a blood investigation done for allergic testing so that the exact irritant causing allergic reaction can be ruled out. Till now, you can take Cetirizine or Defense Chat Doctor.  You should avoid hot, spicy and sharp food substances.
