I've been feeling something stuck in my throat, like a spike or something pointy, and it just won't dissolve or go away no matter what I eat or drink. It's unsettling because it keeps rubbing against the walls of my throat near the end of my tongue. What could this be, and how should I deal with it?

I'm noticing some vertical purple veins next to my tonsils and the back of my throat looks inflamed. There's also a mild pain when I swallow. Should I be concerned about this, or is it something that can resolve on its own?

You seem to be suffering from acute pharyngo-tonsillitis which is a common type of throat infection. You may need to take antibiotics and painkillers along with antiseptic mouth gargle for few days for faster recovery
