Read Doctor! Red Bumps Back of Throat & Back of Tongue Posted: 01-25-06 12:29pm
About 4 times a year, for the last year
and a half, I get a sore throat that lasts
about 5 days. I have these red bumps
(about 0.5 mm in diameter), on the back
wall of my throat, and at the very very
back of my tongue. This sore throat
doesn't feel like a cold-type sore throat,
but it feels more like a muscular sore
throat. Now these bumps, I don't think
ever go away, but its every couple months
they will start to hurt again. By
"muscular sore throat" I mean its hard to
swallow, but not in a stingy type way.
They aren't perfectly circular, and there
is no white, yellow, or brown
dis-coloration anywhere. I went to the
doctor the other day, and they did a swab
for std's (because I gave oral sex to a
guy about a year ago, but it was a drunken
decision, and I no longer have contact
with him). At the time, it didn't look
like there was anything on his penis. So
anyway, they also swabbed me for all the
normal things , ie. Strep throat. Now I
don't get these test results back for a
week, and i'm loosing massive amounts of
sleep over this. Please note: I got this
most recent sore throat after coming off
amoxacillan for an ear infection, and i've
had a cold for about 2 weeks. This sore
throat thing comes back every couple
months, regardless of if im healthy or
not. It seems like when the sore throat
comes back, like my tonsils are inflamed
slightly, but after the sore throat goes
away, and my tonsils are back to normal,
the bumps (painless), are still there. Do
I have oral gonnorhea or cancer? Do I
have aids? Im freakin out here. Also,
would it be possible that I have these
bumps cuz of heartburn? I have about 10
that I can see at the back of the throat,
and like 5 on the very very back of my
tongue. There are also mini little bumps
(1mm diameter, clear), that are kinda all
over. The red bumps don't appear to be
blister like either. The doctor I went to
see had no clue what it was. I have no
fevers, and I have usual back pain like
i've had for years. I experience no
tingling in my fingers or toes, and no
rashes. This is very confusing and scary
for me. If anybody has a clue what this
is, please post. Thank you sooo much.

I Have Bumps On the Back of My Throat Too Posted: 11-19-07 17:42pm
Hello, I also have bumps on the back of my
throat too. I went to an ENT doctor, and
she said I have my tonsils inflamed, ( I
never had them taken out ) and my sinuses
like deep inside my nose everything is
inflamed. So they gave me Rihnocort which
is cortisone to make the swelling go away.
im supposed to go back in January but she
said they usually see these symptoms on
people who are allergic to something in
the environment.
I have HPV and I didnt know untill my
boyfriend had some little wart like on the
base of the head of his penis. Then I went
to get checked and yeah I found out then.
Before I even knew about it I had given
him oral, so yeah this situation has me
worried HPV might have been relocated to
my throat. If you find any info let me
know. Thanks
