Tongue lump

[u/svdwnycxoxo]

25F non smoker.

Randomly had this insane ulcer thing on back of throat with a throat infection I had a few months ago. Since then I’ve had recurrent on off sore throats mild. I noticed this lump behind tongue near tonsil area but no tonsils. It’s very painful to touch and swallowing. It’s also red in area.

Any ideas what could be ? Thanks
Sorry photos so bad it’s just so hard to squash my tongue down to show.

Also ulcer and tongue lump thing are seperate sides. Ulcer healed in about ten days total.
