Hello Im 22 years old and have a 6month old daughter Ive been having problems with my throat! I have what lools like blisters or inflamed taste buds. Went to a fast care dr and she said it looks like my tongue. Then I went to the emergency room got tested for strep and he said its viral pharygitis itll go away! Now I have this burning feeling in my arms, back mainly my spine, the back of my neck, and my shoulders and the spots on the back of my tongue are still there does this sound like cancer or something serious!
Hello, I can understand your concern. No, it does not sound like cancer, so please do not worry about it. Cancerous growths are usually painless to start with. What you are suffering from seems like a viral infection only that has infected your tongue and throat mainly while causing generalized ill ease due to the infection. I would advise you to visit a dentist or ENT surgeon and go for culture of the swab after taking sample from the affected area with the swab. The culture results will show what kind of organisms are associated with the infection and what medicines can be started to clear the infection. Based on that, the treatment can be started. As it is an infection of viral or bacterial origin, it will not go away by itself and will surely need treatment. I hope this answer helps you. Thank you for choosing Chat Doctor. I wish you feel better soon. Best,
