Swollentaste buds?

Question

A dentist told me the swollen taste buds look like a mushroom  had infection infection under the cap part.  So I had this idea to "nip it in the bud"...lol.  I have a fingernail clipper just for this only.  I sterilize it in alcohol and nip off that white taste buds.  It looks like a piece of skin on your finger.  Sometimes it might bleed a little but the relief is so worth it!  I then dad a cotton ball of alcohol on the spot for a little bit.  This nests days or a week with a swollen taste buds.  Relief is almost instant!
