I'm dealing with Granular Pharyngitis and have been for a few years now. My throat constantly feels heavy and clogged with cough, and I find myself needing to clear it all the time. It's tough to talk sometimes, and my voice has gone hoarse permanently. I saw a local ENT specialist, but I didn't get much help. Do you think I should get a second opinion? Any advice on dealing with this would be really appreciated.

I'm sorry to hear about your struggles with Granular Pharyngitis. It can be frustrating, especially when it affects your voice and makes talking difficult. Seeking a second opinion is a good idea, as a more thorough evaluation and treatment plan can help manage symptoms better. It might be useful to look into lifestyle changes, medication, or even voice therapy depending on the severity.

Ive noticed my uvula seems to be touching my tongue, and it feels like something is hanging at the back of my mouth. Its making it hard for me to talk. Could this be something I should be worried about?

It sounds like you may have an elongated or swollen uvula, which is causing discomfort and affecting your speech. I recommend taking over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medication such as ibuprofen to reduce swelling and discomfort. You can also try gargling with warm salt water to help reduce inflammation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a medical professional for further evaluation and treatment.

I've got this hard lump just behind my uvula on the throat wall, and it feels like bone when I touch it. Is this normal, or should I be worried it's something serious like cancer? I'm really anxious about it. Could you please take a look at the attached picture and let me know what you think?
