taste buds will heal in a few days. i'm 17, and i burn them all the time. i just recently burnt my taste buds on toy story soup and it is very irritating. try not to rub your teeth over your tongue...this damages your taste budss. let ice sit on your tongue and drink cold water. this will stop the burning sensation.

fyi, taste buds regenerate after 10 days. so even if you did "pull/clip it off", it would just grow back again. nbd

OMG! This taste bud is so annoying!! I'm walking around with my tongue sticking out. I'm going to kill this bud with some peroxide and tweezers!! >:-(

I get them once in a while - I think it is stress. I was due to do a presentation yesterday and I was afraid I would get growled from lack of input so I was worried about both - before I even went up with my group I noticed I had one.
I don't get groups of them just one or two on the tip. Might try salt rinse and mouth wash like one of you said.

Go see a doctor?!Really?! So... go pay a $25 copay or whatever for a doctor to tell you to leave it alone?! That's obsurd! Cut the sucker off & you'll be fine! I've done it many times & my tongue hasn't even fallen off! Just be smart & be clean about it! C'mon people COMMON SENSE!

i had those stupid things on my tongue and one thing i am gunna say is DON'T PICK THEM!!! they aren't pimple like they are in there own category of things that suck. What you should do is change your diet, it is caused by salt and a lot of it and i was drinking vitamin waters about everyday twice a day, so i have stopped and the white bumps from hell went away. My routine that i do is : 2 cups of hot salt water, then a skwirt of chloraseptic spray, followed by a 2 caps full of mouth wash. This works great for me!
good luck!!

Yeah, I have about 50, all over the sides and tip of my tongue. Have 1? 6? 10? Sucl it up. I can't eat. I can't talk. They come off. Yes. My taste buds look like zits and they COME OFF. What the f**?!

What I do is get a double-bladed ax & make sure it's razor sharp - then I heat it up in a fire until it's glowing red &... then wake up from my dramatic dream. :D
Then I rinse my mouth with warm salt water, sometimes hydrogen peroxide, sometimes use the anbesol.

I HAD THIS TOO. FOR MORE THAN TWO WEEKS. I WENT TO THE DOCTOR. IT WAS A YEAST INFECTION. IT WENT AWAY AFTER THREE DAYS ON THE ANTIBIOTICS. LADIES, IF YOU DO NOT GET THIS CHECKED OUT, IT COULD SPREAD THROUGH THE URINARY TRACT AND APPEAR IN THE VAGINAL AREA. I AM SO GLAD MINE WAS BETTER BEFORE IT SPREAD! :)

THIS Was what i posted. my post^
get it checked. mine was an oral yeast infection. ughhhh
Loading...
actually, no. it could be a yeast infeciton, in which case, swallowing them or taking them off could both be very bad. hey need to be medicated.

Mine is not a yeast infection; I've had it checked...it is a swollen, inflamed taste bud. You can get them from burning your tongue and several other ways. I have a very dry mouth due to medications, and if I eat too many chips, or anything salty or spicy, the very same taste bud gets swollen and irritated. I don't know how you people pull them off...mine is too sore to even think about touching let alone pulling/tweezing off.
Loading...
Doesn't that hurt? I can't believe you people; mine is soooo sore, I can barely touch it!!

After reading all of this I decided to go for the tweezer clip. I cut the taste bud off just 30 minutes ago and it already feels better. Thanks for all the info!
