Stuck my finger deep into my throat to throw up. now i feel lump in my throat. saw in my throat my tonsil sitting, touching tongue. normal?

Yes: The palatine tonsil (tonsil in the throat) always touches the base of the tongue where it sometimes is close to the lingual tonsil. This is normal anatomy. When we perform a tonsillectomy, invariably, the base of the tonsil goes into the lingual tissue.

Recurring red lumps/ulcers that cover throat and back of tongue + lumps either side of the tonsil. Very painful, I have good oral hygiene and I'm not B12 deficient. I gargle salt water when it's more severe. What could it be and why is it happening?
