Tongue Pimples
What could be causing my red bumps on back of tongue and other symptoms.?
I just started a new job and don't have medical insurance yet. My wife was sick all last week with the flu. After several days, I started feeling some symptoms, mostly just run down and fatigued with a sore throat. A few days have passed, and I feel pretty much fine, except my throat has some discomfort, especially when I eat, and the back of my tongue is white with a fairly large red bumps on the very back of my tongue. Any ideas?

- Could be strep. You need to have a doctor check this out. Strep can be dangerous if left untreated. One thing it can be a precursor to is mononucleosis, which can lead to a potential hospital stay. There is a lot of illness going around right now. It's very easy to contract a cold, flu, strep, etc. this time of year. Wash your hands frequently and keep surfaces clean to avoid germ spreading. PLEASE -- don't take chances with your health. You'll find a way to pay the doctor bill.
