A member asked:

When i stick my tongue all the way out i can see very large bumbs in the back of my tongue and i can see my epiglottis. is that bad?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: The bumps you see are likely slightly enlarged vallate papillae which are normal. Further back there are lymphoid nodules - which if not painful, would again be no reason for concern.
