sometimes you get little infections in the crypts of your tonge, theyre nothing to worry about and often the only sign is what looks like the "taste bub" (actullay just a papilla) popping up, if its too annoying start rinsing with listerine or warm salt water

I'm a dentist.
I really should know this, but I'm not certain.
I don't think it's a taste bud. I believe it's a filiform papillae that was traumatized, possibly mechanically or by excessive heat.
When I drink hot drinks, I tend to get them--even when I haven't felt as though I burned my tongue. They are painful.

I ask my doctor about that years ago...He told me it was just one of those things, a part of growing up.Yeah, I didn't like that answer either.

Good question. I hate it when that happens.

extremes.... such as something too sour or something too hot or too spicy.
