Drip unrelated: Post nasal drip does not induce growth of an intra oral lesion. Tumors on the tongue most often occur in the anterior 1/3. These appear as ulcers on the lateral side of the tongue. A small number of lesions grow in posterior 1/3 just before the epiglottis. It can be felt as a firm mid line lump and should be checked by H&N surgeon. If bx +, excision is by transhyoid pharyngotomy.

My throat/tongue hurts (not sore), it is difficult to swallow (physically painfully difficult). I also have lumps on the back of my tongue. I had a cold that finally went away a few days ago before this popped up. Is it just residual?
