For the past few days the back of my mouth (around the area where that dangly thing is) and my throat have been sore. I just looked in the bathroom about an hour ago and there's white stuff on my tongue. Anyways, I went to WebMD and checked and I think I have this:

Herpangina

Herpangina is a viral infection. It causes sore throat and pus-filled sores on the throat, tongue, tonsils, and roof of the mouth. The illness is not serious and often heals in less than a week.

The symptoms I have match with those. For a while I thought I had Strep (which when I was younger, I'd get every year) or Tonsilitis.

I'll be ok in about a week, but if Zaia or jmac want to nurse me back to health, I won't object.

1- it's the uvula.
2- it might be tartar/plaque (I forget which is the solid) on your tongue

You might not be getting enough water, I think, and you may also be eating something to agitate your situation, maybe.

My tongue didn't start looking like that till my throat became sore.

Could it be thrush?

Maybe. But why would my throat be sore?

Thrush hurts, and itches. Is it an itchy soreness?

Nope. But I think it might be thrush.

Edit: Ok, this is friggin weird. I just went to use the bathroom and I looked in the mirror over the toilet and stuck my tongue out, to see if it still had white stuff on it. Oddly enough, I saw nothing but the red of my tongue. So, I checked the mirror on my medicine cabinet and indeed, the white that was on my tongue is gone. Furthermore, my throats feeling much better.

The only thing I can think of is the Sunny D Lemonade I've been drinking for the past few hours.

Maybe if men would just keep their dicks clean

Of course it is. But we can tell when we're not clean - it hurts.
Your penis could be carrying all sorts of nasty stuff around that's just waiting for a warm, hospitable vagina to fester in.

Doctors would charge me 150 bucks (which I don't have yet) just to tell me what I already have figured out. I used WebMD.
