Your tastebuds can get annoyed and swollen from irritation, like extreme temperature changes (too hot/too cold) or physical pressure (biting your tongue accidentally, orthodontic wires poking the same spot repeatedly, ect) causing the white bump to form.
Transient lingual papillitis (lie bumps or liar’s tongue) is a condition that affects your tongue, making small, painful red or white bumps. It happens when something irritates your papillae, the tiny bumps covering your tongue. Transient lingual papillitis isn’t a serious condition.
I’ve been wanting to ask this very thing (as I have one right now that’s irritating the hell out of me). I don’t know where I got the name but I always call them sugar pimples

I believe they’re called canker sores, can be exacerbated by eating very salty foods. Would not recommend seeking them out haha XD
