White bumps?

I reciently went to the er, I felt like I had a rash on the roof of my mouth. I had a cronic cough for about 3 days.  The er doc said it could be hand mouth and foot disease or it could be herpes.  I am married, and not only have I not cheated but we have children in our bed, so even if he HAD cheated which I don't suspect, there is nothing going on in our bedroom, not even a real kiss.  I don't feel like this could be an std. Can you think of anything else that may cause this, I also have developed a white tongue and have a cancor sore under my tongue.  I don't know if I should have posted this in the STD forum but that was full.  Would it at all be possible for me to get herpes from work, I am a waitress, I touch peoples dirty silverware and glasses, but I wash my hands all the time.  Help, I really don't feel like this is an std.
