1. Go to the cops, report it. Then go to the doctors and have it checked, youve got something wrong.
2. First of all, please tell someone. Rape is never okay. The bump may have been irritated by something you ate or drank or just rubbing it against your teeth without really knowing it. But it could also be an STD. I suggest that you tell an adult you trust what happened and go to the doctor.
3. See a doctor. Just tell your parents that you need to go to the doctor because you have a headache, or heck, tell them about the bump on your tongue -- but just see a doctor. You can probably get it treated very easily. And by the way, if you were raped in any way shape or form, I would strongly recommend talking to someone about that (for example, a parent or counselor). We live in a time where you don't have to be afraid or ashamed of something horrible that someone has done to you. Be strong.
4. Hello, Speaking from 16yrs remission from breast cancer, PLEASE, despite ANY embarrassment go see your doctor immediately. Don' take any chances with your health. It is a miracle I am alive today. I was misdiagnosed on my breast lump 15months before I had the surgery that saved my life. The earlier they catch something the better your chances. It could also just be a virus or something easy to take care of....Don't stress about the what if's on this...needless to scare yourself. I am so sorry that someone hurt you...nobody deserves that, this is also a crime and when you are ready you might want to think about going to the police. Even though this was oral, it is still rape. Rape isn't having consensual sex, it's violence. Please take care of yourself and get on the road to recovery. The steps can be hard to take but in the long run you will be so glad that you got help. God's peace be with you.
5. First of all you really should tell your parents because you will need their love and support through this. They can help you take the necessary steps with the police if you want to press charges. So many rapists and child molestors continue to attack again and again because of the fear their victims hold. If I tell somebody will they believe me, will they blame me? By fearing your attacker you are giving him all the power. Second, you need to get into see a doctor, another reason you should have family support. That bump could be a s.t.d. like syphallis which can cause painless sores like that. If you absolutely refuse to tell your parents then find a local Planned Parenthood, it's completely confidential. I highly advise you to confide in a parent or a well trusted adult, you shouldn't go through this alone.
