I've had a small lump on the right side of my tongue for the past two years. It hasn't changed in size or shape, and it doesn't cause any pain or problems, but I'm still worried about it. Can you tell me why these kinds of lumps appear on the tongue and what might have caused it? Also, is there any way to treat or remove it without surgery?

I've had this bad throat for about a week, and I've been managing it with saltwater gargles. But last night, I experienced severe pain in my ear, so I took ALTHROCIN 500. The ear pain seems to be gone this morning, but now my ear feels closed. Is it alright that I took ALTHROCIN, especially since I've already taken two tablets?
