Bumps on way back of tongue and mucus in throat and slight sore throat

[P331]

Ok solast Thursday I gave me boyfriend oral sex tht lasted a minute.& 3 days later (sunday) I went to sleep & had my fan on high& windows open. In the middle of the nite I woke up& my throat was super dry& hurt. i drank tea&  went back to bed. Then when I woke up in morning my throat hurt a lil & I looked in& on the way back of my tongue was bumps there are 3 on each side forming a V & way further down on my tongue are just a bunch of bumps. They don't hurt or itch. All j felt was mucus in my throat. & Monday I was really stressing out causing me to have a headache & my ear ached a lil.Tuesday I didn't have an ear ache a slight headache.& by Wednesday I then noticed bumps on my throat right behind the vulva. I went to the drs that day& she looked at them& said they didn't look like blisters or fluid filled. She checked my ears n nose. She said what I has was viral pharyngitis. Its Saturday now almost been a week since bumps appeared n they haven't gone down. I don't have anymore headaches or anything. My throat does feel like it's getting a little better besides when I wake up in morning it seems to hurt. Btw I was tested for stds a week before the bumps &came out clean. My bf has also had an std test & is clean. I've given him oral before & bumps like this have never appeared. Until now. Can these bumps and throat infection be from giving him oral sex? Or is it really just viral pharyngitis ?

Did you find out what it is?
A general throat infection or something else?

I have bumps on the back of my tongue.  Yet it feels as though I have a sore throat. And I've tried using listerin to kill some of the bacteria but it's not going away.

Hello and hope you are doing well.

As the tonsils are enlarged, its more likely to be tonsillitis. Herpes is usually a clinical diagnosis and screening for STDs may not include testing for herpes. Although blood tests may help detect a herpes infection, the results aren't always conclusive. With your symptoms it's unlikely it is herpes. White patches are common in many throat  infections. The sore throat and tonsillitis which you had may have contributed to it. In response to the infection the body produces soft white debris which collects in the tiny indentations in the tonsils called crypts. Repeated salt water gargles will help. Mix one teaspoon of salt in 1 cup of warm water and gargle. If the patches increase in size or become painful then consult your doctor.

Hope this helped and do keep us posted.

I haven't been taking medicine besides Claritin. And my left tonsil is swollen now.. It doesn't hurt too much I don't have any blisters/ulcers/cold sores on my mouth. And behind the flab part I can see some white butt can't really get to it cause it makes me gag

Hello doctor thank you very much! But quick question does the std test actually test for herpies? all I asked was for the std test and they took a lot of my blood?

Hello and hope you are doing well.

As both of you have tested negative for STDs, its unlikely that the bumps or blisters are due to a herpes infection. ‘Cobble stoning’ of the throat as it is called because of its appearance, can occur with viral infections of the throat. This may take about two weeks to subside. So, continue with your medications, in addition you could take OTC multivitamins. Take plenty of warm oral fluids and lots of rest. For further relief from your symptoms you could do warm salt water gargles and steam inhalations. Please ensure to do this prior to your meals. Hope this helped and Do Take Care!
