“Why are my taste buds inflamed?”
I'm 32, and my taste buds just feel really inflamed. I'm not sure why it's happening. What causes taste buds to inflame?

Could be allergy to food. See your physician please.
There are several possibilities but you need to see a dentist or an oral surgeon to diagnose
Probably not taste buds (very back of tongue and hard to see) rather filiform papillae (most of what you see). Could be direct trauma (acidic drinks, aggressive spices, carbonated drinks), autoimmune condition (stress related response), systemic (health condition- nutrition status, diabetes). Any or all together can yield this result.
