I do the same thing and have been for years....there's pressure from the little bumps and removing them with a nail clipper relieves it and it heals in a day or 2, but what are they from? Is it a vitamin deficiency or a food allergy? BTW it's relief that tons of people do this too!!!!

Clip it...

I get these a LOT. Anytime I get too much vitamin C especially. (yes, even in tablet form) and for the last two weeks, I have had far more than usual, and I have no idea why. Next time I go to the doctor, I will bring it up, but I am NOT going just for that. So, just as I have done for the last couple of years, I will continue to clip them. It works well, and feels much better than having them there!

Who the hell in their right mind would listen to this tip? ONLY IF YOU AN IDIOT, PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS!!! It can cause serious damage to your taste buds and even cause heart problems, you DO NOT want to do this.

I tried this before when I thought of it on my own and figured it might help to get rid of the pain quicker, as well as the annoyance. All I can tell you is that it's a bad idea. The taste bud will bleed. It hurts like a bitch. And, the worst part, it took way longer than usual for the thing to heal. like almost 2 weeks instead of a few days. Bad idea. I'm not lying.

Ive tried this once before and couldn't remember if i concluded it was a bad idea or not. I just did it now and the bumps are gone and dont bother me but the would on my tounge is sore. I can definately say not as bothersome as the bumps were. It doesnt hurt to rub my teeth against my tounge right now but it is more sore when i try to curl or roll my tounge. Actually the pain has dimmed down as I've been typing and Im so relieved. These things have been bothering me for a week now, and i cant stand them. i get them a few times a year and I hate them more than anything. I am so glad i found this post today.

I have been clipping off my swollen tazste buds since i was 8 or 9 years old after eating batches of sour patch kids or lots of salted popcorn.
I have always thought of them as "worn out" taste buds when they start hurting and then turn white or red and raised.
Clipping them off with cuticle scissors or nail clippers is best becasue they are sharp and more precise. The initial clip is no more painful than popping a zit, but as soon as you have clipped it off, AHHH the relief! Just remember to clip it as far down to the base as possible, and not just the raised part or you will have to cut it again.

I was going to try this, but, after examining it in a magnified make up mirror, found that the bump was already loose from the surface of the tongue. I also found that after poking and proding at it that the pain wasn't there anymore. So mess with it before you eat and the pain dissipates.
Also, people are saying you can get an infection, but the saliva in your own mouth acts as a natural antiseptic. That is why if you ever get a cut and don't have access to a antiseptic, you are supposed to use your own saliva. It also has healing properties.

It works, but be careful!

It works, but please be careful not to snip off adjacent parts of your tongue. That's probably what happened to the person who now has it hurting more. Also, snip the whole bud or "papilla" off, not just part of it. Brush your teeth and tongue first. Do use mouthwash afterward.

Do it with Tweezers!

Ah I just read a bunch of these and I was truly skeptical like some of the posters said. I really didn't want it to hurt since that was my main concern and I didn't really want to bleed so much. I just couldn't take it anymore since I could barely eat since the bud would always hit my teeth and cause immense pain. Even when swallowing!!
I usually get these when I burn my tongue or eat too much salty snacks.
Here's how I did it, no pain at all!:
1) take a q-tip and dab orajel or whatever kanker mouthwash you have and hold it on the bud.
2) Take some Ambesol and put it on the other side of the q-tip and hold it on the bud, this should numb it enough so that you don't feel any pain when taking that bugger off.
3) Wash off your tweezers, soap and warm water is sufficient if you don't have rubbing alcohol ready. It gets really slippery to try to either dab it dry or hold it in place with your fingers and relax your tongue.
4) Make sure you have the right taste bud! You can tell easily incase you can't feel it if it's hanging out among the rest. Take your tweezer and clamp it on the top part of the bud so you won't pull off excess which may cause bleeding. Pull off quickly. You might see the small little bud on your tweezers.
5) Wash it off and you're done. You may want to hold a tissue to your tongue in case you do bleed a bit but it souldn't be too much!
