What Is The Solution For Sinus,sore Throat And Painful Pea Sized Lump On Tongue?
I have been sick with sinus issues and a severe sore throat for the past 2-3 weeks. I still have a slight sore throat and cough which I think may be from sinus drainage. According to physicians, it was a viral infection. Today I noticed I have a painful pea sized lump on the left side IN my tongue. What could it be and should I go to the walk-in clinic immediately?
