White tongue with no obvious cause
There are white and swollen papillae on my tongue, not in large patches, but numerous. It looks as if I burned my tongue along the sides. No burning or trauma has occurred.

It is difficult to comment like this without seeing the actual lesion or I mean to say the papillae on your tongue,,so I would advise you to see a dentist in person especially who is an oral medicine expert and take his advice.
