I'm really worried about these bumps under my tonsils in the tonsillar fossa that I've had for around 45 years. They don't grow or cause discomfort, but they don't go away either. Plus, there's some white stuff on my tonsils. I saw an ENT in December who checked everything and said it was normal, suggesting I gargle with saline water or hydrogen peroxide. But I'm just wondering if these bumps will ever go away on their own or if I'm stuck with them forever. What do you think?

I'm a bit worried because last night while I was eating my meal of rice and fish, my mum brought home takeout from Hardee's. I couldn't resist and took a big bite of the burger along with a spoonful of rice, and soon after, I felt pain in my throat. Do you think this could be something serious, or maybe just a reaction to eating different things together?
This could be due to a variety of reasons, such as irritation from the food you ate or possibly an allergic reaction. To help alleviate the pain and discomfort in your throat, you can try taking an over-the-counter antacid like Tums (dosage: 2 tablets) to help with any acid reflux that may be causing the pain. Additionally, you can also try gargling with warm salt water to help soothe your throat. If the pain persists or worsens, it would be best to seek medical advice.
