Hello,
I have gone through your query and understand your concern.
From your query, I suspect of two possibilities
1. Tonsillar
HPV infection and this may turned into malignant
I suspect this because you have obstruction in throat, enlarged bumps in tongue with tonsils enlarged ion one side.
As well as treatment does not completely cures the
sore throat and is there for past few weeks.
2. Second possibility is
streptococcal throat infection.
But this does not cause any bumps in tongue.
Thus you need further investigations like throat swab to rule out any
Streptococcal infection.
You need the complete evaluation of these symptoms by ENT physician and he may do laryngoscopes or pharyngoscopes together with small mirrors.
He may want to perform a biopsy of areas that look suspicious for cancer. A biopsy is a small sample of cells taken with a thin, hollow needle. The cells are then viewed under a microscope to look for signs of cancer. Biopsy samples from lump may be tested for the presence of HPV DNA. The presence of HPV DNA signals a cancer that is more responsive to treatment than one that is HPV-negative.
Depending upon the diagnosis, he may refer you to an
Oncologist for either
chemotherapy or
radiation therapy up front, or surgery followed by radiation therapy with or without the addition of chemotherapy.
Hope this helps.
Please write back for further queries.
Wishing you good health.
