If the meat particles are distributed on both sides of the root of the tongue and are soft in texture and do not hurt or itch, the meat particles are the contour papillae at the root of the tongue, which is the organ that senses the sense of taste and belongs to the normal physiological structure. If the contour papillae are inflamed due to vitamin B deficiency in the body, viral or fungal infections, they can cause swelling, pain and taste disorders in the contour papillae. Flesh granules at the base of the tongue may also be due to hyperplasia of the lymphatic follicles at the base of the tongue. When suffering from tonsillitis, chronic pharyngitis, periodontitis of the posterior teeth and apical periapical inflammation, it will cause the lymphatic follicles at the base of the tongue to swell and proliferate, resulting in the appearance of flesh granules at the base of the tongue. The presence of sharp cusps in the posterior region, misaligned teeth, twisted teeth or poor restorations that can often bite and scrape the root of the tongue can also lead to the appearance of inflammatory hyperplasia of the mucosa of the root of the tongue in the form of polyps.
