Background: I’ve battled bad acid reflux for years, and for the last few months I’ve been singing in a rock band which has done a number on my vocal cords and has lead to some pain and raspiness in my voice. However, I don’t think either of those two things would be producing the amount of discomfort I’m in today. I noticed this weird reddish pink cluster of bumps behind my tongue in the tonsil area two days ago and it’s not getting any better. Doesn’t burn but feels like a soreness or tickle in my throat. Not to mention the red vein looking inflammation. My breath has been especially rancid in the last few days as well. I’m very scared that this is some form of oral cancer or an STD and I cannot find any images online that look similar. Please help.
