What causes bumps behind the tongue?

Question

In the throat?

For a while now, I've felt like there's a layer of something at the back of my throat... like someone painted it and it's peeling or something.

So I felt back there just now and there's tons of little bumps.

Is that normal?

I've been concerned cos it looks like one of my tonsils is deflated... or the other one is just swollen. But they don't hurt, so I don't know.

Plus, I'm bulimic and I know bad things are bound to happen.

I haven't been to the doctor yet about anything, so yeah.

Can anyone help?

Well, it could be Strep, Mononucleosis, Coxsackie, a viral infection or just Tonsillitis. I would go to a doctor so they can run some tests. Also if you are bulimic the acid from your stomach can irritate your throat causing blisters, that's what another name is for the bumps in your throat. If you get white stiff on your tonsils that can be related. Don't worry about it it isn't anything major. Hope this helps!!!
