Raw Spot On Tongue Sore Tongue/Throat For Almost A Month...PLEASE HELP?

Sore Tongue/Throat for almost a month...PLEASE HELP? - raw spot on tongue

So in the last 3 1 / 2 weeks I had a sore throat / tongue. Left I think that everything will go, but should be even better. It's actually much worse. It began as an annoyance, but now the point where you can not eat solid food, because I can not force my throat feels like it is stuck. She has even started, my ear very painful. I'm not sure if the throat or back of the tongue. I was to take care my husband and my mother and it can not see anything unusual. He feels that something is rubbing on the back of the tongue and you spot a first in his throat. I can not explain, except that. I cough a slight tendency to smoke, and no other signs of disease. STREP I had before and not good. I've never seen anything like this before. Frankly, it feels like something stuck in my tongue. I have no insurance, so that's why I did not have been to the DR when I said, I thought I'd let them run their course, but it is improving. My husband and my children feel so good, I guess it is not contagious? If someone has a problem, how they are estimated from their responses. Like I said before, I had STREP and I'm sure that's not it. I had my tonsils removed years ago so it's not that ... Any suggestions would be great. Thanks in advance!

Besides, I had an abscess in the gums around 2 months, the surgical drainage is required ... possibly related to?
