For three months now, I have been experiencing what seems to be very small whiteheads/pustules on the back of my tongueTongue tie and whitish colored throatCancer - throat or larynx Throat swab culture/mucuousy coating. There are dozens of really small pimple like bumps that concern me. I've seen three doctors about it-I've been tested for mono twiceTwice-a-day and the results were negative. I've also been tested for strep and that was negative. Initially the bumps appeared at the onset of a sore throatCancer - throat or larynx Throat swab culture, but now I'm not experiencing a sore throatCancer - throat or larynx Throat swab culture and the bumps are still there accompanied by bad breathBreath alcohol test Breath holding spell Breath odor. The doctors write my concern off stating that it was simply some random viral infection I recently picked up at college, but I've been experiencing sort of a metallic taste in my mouth when I wake up. The doctors definitely said it was not thrush, but I don't know what else it could be?
I am having the same thing along with swollen papillae in the very back of my tongue. My doctor basically told me its from post-nasal drip. I don't believe it because I have had pnd on and off for years and never had this happen. I am waiting to goto my ENT appointment and I will ask him and possible get it biopsied.
