Please help me out here im so scared!!!
The last two weeks or so ive had a swollen circumvallate papillae.(about double the size of the other one)
Now im not sure how many you have but it looks like 2 of them side by side way back on the tongue, unfortunately i am a smoker, i quit for 4 years and started back about 4 months ago, this seems to be agravated by smoking but im not totally sure, theres no pain just this very uncomfortable feeling of trying to swallow something that just wont go down. Seems like when i wake up in the morning its not there but as soon as i get up it comes back or if i smoke seems like it gets worst, i do want to quit which is why im going to my doctor but my appointment is only in a month and till then im going to worry myself sick. Of course my biggest worry is cancer, can i be comforted at all that this might NOT be cancer and just another condition that sometimes happens that is normal? i havent eaten anything different or anything unusual that i dont usually eat or drink, this bump is flesh colored and i havent noticed any other symptoms.......can anyone tell me what it might be and please tell me its probably not cancer? I know only a doctor can diagnose this properly but any words of encouragement would be so appreciated. i really look forward to a reply!! thank you!!

i to had same problem, and it occured one night when i smoked way to many cigarettes. i felt a lump in my throat that i couldnt make go away by swallowing, i looked in the mirror and saw that there were swollen tastebuds in the shave of a ^ on the back of my tounge. i cut back on smoking and within a few days the lump feeling went away and within a few weeks my tastebuds returned to normal. unfortunatly the past few days again i've smoked way to many cigarettes and it's back, so i think it has somthing to do with the smoke irritating my tounge and throat.
