View allI've been noticing these yellowish bumps at the back of my throat for a few months now, like maybe 3 or 4 months. It's got me kinda worried because I chew tobacco. Do you have any idea what this could be?
The yellowish bumps at the back of your throat could be due to a condition called oral thrush, which is a fungal infection caused by Candida yeast. To treat oral thrush, you can use clotrimazole troches. You can dissolve one troche slowly in your mouth five times a day for 14 days. Additionally, it's important to quit chewing tobacco as it can worsen the condition and lead to other health issues.

My 5-year-old has enlarged adenoids and keeps getting ear infections. The doctor mentioned surgery but I'm worried can medicines shrink adenoids or is surgery the only option? What are the risks if we delay surgery?
Mild to moderate adenoid issues might improve with nasal steroids and avoiding allergens. Persistent infections may require adenoidectomy.
