The little red bumps on my tongue almost look like giant red taste buds... The right side of my throat and ear have been hurting A LOT, especially at night. It realy hurts to swallow. It doesn't really hurt in the day time. I have had the throat and ear ache for a day or so, and just discovered the bumps on my tongue maybe 10 minutes ago. Any clue to what is going on? oh great, go to the doctor? hmmmm home alone.... can't drive.... wow I'm screwed lol anyway, I forgot to add that i have this lump on the roof of my mouth OH GREAT. I found something new. (I have a mirror in front of me) I have flesh colored bumps on the back of my throat, almost invisible, they blend in, but their there.
