Lie bumps.

Ive gone to the doc today he said its just because of infection and he have me medicines. He said theres nothing to worry but whenever someone sees these bumps theyre like omg. 😢 im scared please reply asap. U cn see the bumps in the pic which r in the middle but at the end. Idk till where they are but I can only see this part.

Photograph you have attached shows lingual tonsils which are normal structures present in the posterior part of the tongue. They can get inflamed and enlarged during any throat infection. No specific treatment is usually necessary
