sores in throat and on tongue

All sores are inside the mouth (none at all on the outside of the mouth or around the lips - ever), on the soft palate around the mouth and on the sides and underside of the tongue and below, not the gums and not inside the throat but on the soft palate of the throat - in front of the tonsils.

I’ve had what feels like swollen glands in my throat, neck and jaw and under armpits for over 6 weeks. Also white tongue and sores at side of tongue. Some days are more painful than others. I’ve been suffering lots of anxiety about health. Any ideas?

I also saw a couple of red bumps on top of tongue (deep) today. And there's a little white dot on front tongue (left). I am already going through a HIV scare (had unprotected vaginal sex 4 weeks back)! (Have rashes, muscle pain, sore throat and now this).

A friend of mine has pink sores at the back of her tongue just on the sides at the back they are small in size and pink in color, they are not painful. In the morning she sometimes has a sore throat. What could it be? Very worried for her.

also i got sick one day, i woke up in the morning with lymph glands on my neck was painful and sore throat with White spots on the throat in the back and Pain with difficulty swallowing, chills, fever and sweat, Fatigue, body aches and i found out 2 blisters down close to my vagina, for 4 days .

ve just noticed that there are bumps near the back of my tongue (and seemingly moving up towards the front) that look like they might be sores. There is absolutely no pain in my mouth from this and no sore throat (therefore doesn't seem like thrush). I also think my tongue might be swollen because there are teeth marks on the sides of it. Below is a picture for reference, thanks for ANY help!!

m pretty sure I read that these cough drops can cause the canker sores. My main issue is now I have this painful bump in the back of my throat/mouth/tongue. I've had this pain for about a week now and seems to be getting worse. I've googled what it could be but with no luck. I can't see this bump but i can feel it and it seems like its where the tongue connects to the back side of my mouth near the tonsil on the right side of my mouth.

Aside from any hiv issue, under my tongue is the same. 2 red blood veins and flaps of skin and im not taking pep.

Just to add. I don’t have any sores in my mouth. Just inflamed dry throat.

It is a white-yellowish coating on my tongue, my tongue also has like red bumps at the back of my tongue, scalloped edges and like canker sores in the edges back deeper inside. I find this really scary! Has anyone seen anything like that before? Is that an ARS symptom? My other question is. Have you ever seen or have known about a 28 day combo test (4th generation) negative result changing when restesting in the following weeks/months? Thank you very much for your help and attention.

Now, another week later (4/5 weeks after sex with that girl) I still have chapped lips, ulcers on my tongue and the spots on my penis have begun to show up more and more. I have also had for the past 4 days an INCREDIBLY painful and sore throat with spots on the back of it. I'm not sure what to think. From day one I have thought it has been herpes, but I have had no herpes type outbreaks on my penis (that I know of?) - nor any cold sores on my mouth.

ve also have gotten small red and white sores in my mouth underneath my tongue and on my lips (total of three or four). Besides the coating and sores, I still have swollen lymph nodes as well as some skin on the chest right below the neck being red, no texture change or bumps/lesions yet. Swallowing is not painful and I don't have a sore throat or cough anymore. Potential exposure would have been a little more than three weeks ago. Can I get some opinions?

I have been wracked with a horrible sore throat and sores in the back of my throat and tongue. I would be more than willing to provide pictures to any expert who would be willing to tell me if I'm over blowing this or if I need to seek testing. I also had white top covering my tongue the next day which I proceed to scrape off and clean my throat with mouthwash and brushing. The sores on my tongue are red and at the back and are larger than the sores in the back of my throat.

Mary, my wife, has some lesions on her tongue that don't hurt. They are on the tip and top surface in the middle and one side. Irregular shapes, with light (not white) edges, and of various sizes. About 6 lesions. She has Crohn's and diabetes, anemia. They don't hurt at this time. Seem to have appeared suddenly, in the last day or 2. Very concerned. Does anyone out there in cyberspace have a similar symptom? Thank you, Whoever!

It just seems bizarre that the white coating on my tongue would be going away but the tonsils and throat would remain red and inflamed, no?

Realized i have a few tongue sores on the back of the right side of my tongue as well.

A very common condition for the tongue is called geographic tongue, where there is swelling in various areas and not in others and often redness and tenderness. Also, there can be fungal infections of the tongue. Throat cancer would not be present as an acute problem, and especially not just on the tongue. If this continues, I would recommend that you see your dentist. They would be perhaps a better resource than the STD clinic. I'm sorry I can't help you more with this question.

ve also had a white coating over my tongue and dry mouth for about 2 weeks, and the sensation of something being stuck on the right side of my throat. I have no clue what this could be... I have a doctor appointment, but not til Dec 12th.

Also when I push my lips out i see little white bumps that you can not see unless you push out your lips. I am really worried. The sores on my tongue and the bump near my genitals do not hurt and i never had trouble swollowing. I have had some flu like symptoms but was not sure if those were caused by my constant worrying and looking at websites about symptoms. fever but not very high or very long, no real body aches, but a slightly sore back, and have just been very tired all the time.

ve been tested back in January and June for oral herpes, and both times came back negative. I keep getting what seems to be a canker sore on the side of my tongue, and it appears in the same spot. It's happened 3 times in the past 4 months. I'm afraid it's herpes, what do you think? Is it typical to see recurrent herpes IN the mouth/throat as opposed to the lips/face? Please help!

the tongue sores i had came once and then healed up. i returned home after three weeks and now the tongue sores are back and worse, and the girl i was seeing now is complaining of the sore tongue and still has a sore throat. i'm guess whatever is on our tongues is the same as what is/was making our throats sore because its thicker on the back of the tongue. neither of us really got feverish, but both of us had/have chest infections with dark yellow and brown phlegm.

I don't understand the notion (did I spell that right??) that my one sided tingle / numb feeling in the tongue and throat could be the start of shingles. I don't think this is a rational explanation from my ENT and now I don't know if I should fill the script for the antiviral. Its Zovirax. Stumped here again. Suggestions??
