I saw these bumps on the back of my tongue, and wasnt sure if there normal. I gave my husband head and then i saw these and i had a sore thoat hours later (saw these after i got my sore throat), not sure if im over reacting because my throat hurts or if i should really be worried. I know there bad pictures but maybe you can help? i tried my best to get some but its hard since theyre so far back in my throat.

the bumps make a v shape, with the bottom of the b being at the back of my tongue

      is it possible for you to have an std or anything? Are you having any issues like a sore throat or anything else?

      ive had mine for over a year and i didnt experience any sore throat. i did suspect that it could have been oral hpv and the infection just cleared on its own and im just left with these now

    Hey ! They look like enlarged papillae(tastebuds) to me, however i'm not a doctor. Im just a 20 year old.. Please search 'enlarged papillae back of tongue' on google images, they look like that to me.

    I only know this because i've had some type of growth on my tongue and was looking for answers, this isn't what mine looks like but i thin it matches yours 😃
