Bumps of various sizes on the back of my throat, behind uvula
Hello I'm currently 19 years old. I've been smoking weed for the past 4ish years on a fairly regular basis (1-2 spliffs w/ 10% tobacco, 90% marijuana). Before I go into what's scaring me I'd like to mention that I've been going through serious anxiety issues lately and have never worried the way I currently am over a physical illness.
Anyways, about 2 days ago I woke up with a horrible sore throat. I only slept for 3 hours, and to the best of my knowledge I had no sore throat proir to going to bed. I had smoked earlier in the night using a vaporizer (something i rarely do) as well as a spliff. I examined my throat in the mirror (something I've never really done before) and noticed that the back of my throat had various sized fleshy bumps (by fleshy I mean the same color as a healthy throat). Directly behind my uvula was a bump slightly larger than the others but similar in color. They are scattered over the back of my throat and clearly visible when I shine a light into my mouth and yawn. I also feel slighty sick... while I don't have a fever I just feel a little ill, weak, and have a slightly smaller appetite than usual. I've had the same sexual partner for years, there is no possibility of an STD.
I would like to know if this is something to seriously worry about or something that will likely go away in a few days. Thanks, I'm extremely worried and anxious over this.

i have a same problem, i have a mass of cauliflower shape bumps inside my throat, nose, vagina, and i felt my abdomen as well. it grown pretty fast, 23/9 got worse, i went to E-R the diagnosed is a viral illness(i didn't take any test), the Dr. just gave me motrin for relief the pain. 25/9 i will visit another Dr. seeking second opinion.
I'd like to add that I have a particularly larger bump (reddish in color, no white or pus color) behind my uvula. It's much larger than the other bumps though still not much bigger than 1/4 inch by 1/10 inch in an oval shape. Is a large abnormal bump on the oropharynx a common symptom for when you have a virus?
I posted to you in Men's Health. Good luck.
I would like to add that my only real concern is that it's an early form of cancer.
