Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi, my name is Silas. I m 27, have some dental issues like cracked and broken teeth and yesterday I noticed I have some red bumps at the very back of my throat. I also have a small whitish patch down the center groove of my tongue that has small spiky things sticking up out of it. I m in no pain but my throat and glands are a little tender.
I had gone through your question I can understand your concern about your throat problem.
As per your history it can streptococcal infection or tonsillitis. If it is associated with fever you need to take antibiotics like levofloxicin for a week as per my opinion.
The white patch with raised bump on posterior (back) portion of your tongue is a normal thing papilla of tongue. You must keep your tongue mostly during night using tongue cleaner.
Hope my answer will help you and you will write to us if you feel any need. Regards Dr Muzaffar Hussain Parray.
