<human>: Hi, I just came back from vacation and had been feeling a sore feeling in my neck, and its moved to my chest.  Not like a sore throat, but it hurts to move my tongue and i noticed there are big bumps on the back of my tongue.  My husband thinks I should see a doctor...Do you have any idea what this could be?
<bot>: Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, A bump on back of tongue could be due to: wart, polyp, soft tissue lesion- fibrous, hematoma if the lesion is reddish purple in color, lipoma etc. A clinical assessment of the lesion is required. I would suggest you to consult your primary healthcare provider for a clinical assessment. The soreness in the neck radiating to the chest region is probably due to this lesion only. Clinical assessment will decide whether the lesion has to be removed surgically or medical treatment will suffice. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor.
