today i got a little sore on the tip of my tongue.
i just looked in the mirror, and it looks like theres little bumps near the back of my throat?
it is on my tongue though.
can someone help me please?

Answers:

You cannot be sure without a throat culture. Some of the symptoms you described could be attributed to strep, but a culture is required to confirm (these symptoms could also be of a viral nature.) In the physician's office they have both a fast reacting test (answer in ~10 minutes) and also the classic test requiring a few days to culture.

It is worth your while to see your physician.



you need to go see a dr. they will give a throat culture (rubbing a long cotton swab around in the back of your throat). also, that may sound like u have herpes. herpes irritate your mouth and aren't fun... i hope you get well soon! Also, I'm not trying to be mean here, but isn't optical health? =\



ummm go to a docter?!?!?!!?!?!??!!?!!?!?!??!!??!!?!?!…
