Causes are many and varied, a change in toothpaste or mouthwash for example or something like a throat or sinus infection can bring them on. Its not harmful, other than causing you a little discomfort they don't really do much, its just an enlargement of a type of taste buddy type thing on the tongue, everyone has them, most just stay small and hidden in the tongue.

There is no cure. They usually shrink down again after a week or two.

ok thanks for being helpfull :)
