I'm really worried because I've had this lump feeling in the back of my throat and mouth for about three months now. I've also noticed some white spots back there. My doctor mentioned it could be pharyngitis, but even after three months of medication, that feeling hasnt gone away. Now I've started having neck and back pain, and there's this weird sweet and sour taste in my mouth. Im feeling pretty confused and scared about all this. Could you give me some advice on what might be going on?
