I've had these red and white bumps at the back of my throat where my tonsils were removed back in 2011. They showed up with a sore throat which is gone now, but the bumps haven't disappeared. Is there anything I can do to make them go away?

You seem to be suffering from granular pharyngitis which usually occurs secondary chronic irritation of the pharynx such as reflux laryngopharyngitis, post nasal discharge, recurrent pharyngitis etc. If you do not have any symptoms then you need not worry about it

Question

I've been having this uncomfortable feeling in my throat, like there's something stuck in my larynx. I had a tonsillectomy about three years ago and I'm worried it might be related. On top of that, I'm experiencing some breathing problems. Could this all be connected? Would love to understand what's possibly going on.

Question

So, I accidentally burnt my throat eating hot food yesterday. I tried drinking water, gargling with Dispirin, and even used honey, which helped a bit. But this morning, my throat's really hurting, and it looks like a gland, maybe my tonsils, is swollen. My doctor's only available during the weekany advice on what I can do until then?

Question

I've noticed there's a painless lump in front of my ear and it's sitting under the skin, and I'm not sure what it could be. Should I be worried about this, and what might be causing it?
