I've been feeling like there's a lump in my throat for the past two weeks. It doesnt seem to bother me when I'm swallowing food, but there's this constant irritation when I'm just swallowing saliva. What could be causing this?

I've been dealing with a cold and cough for about a week now, and yesterday, when I blew my nose, I felt this weird fluid rush into my left ear. By the evening, it started hurting. It feels blocked, and it aches. Should I be worried? What could be causing this, and is there anything I should do to make it better?

I'm dealing with a sticky throat issue, and it feels like the cough is just stuck there all the time. I had a cough a few days ago and it's still bothering me. Could there be something else going on, or should I be doing something specific to help with this?

You may be experiencing post-nasal drip causing the sensation of a sticky throat. You can try using an over-the-counter antihistamine like Claritin (loratadine) 10mg once daily to help reduce the mucus production. Additionally, you can use a saline nasal spray to help clear out any mucus in your nasal passages. If the symptoms persist, you may need to see a doctor for further evaluation.

I've had these red and white bumps at the back of my throat where my tonsils were removed back in 2011. They showed up with a sore throat which is gone now, but the bumps haven't disappeared. Is there anything I can do to make them go away?

You seem to be suffering from granular pharyngitis which usually occurs secondary chronic irritation of the pharynx such as reflux laryngopharyngitis, post nasal discharge, recurrent pharyngitis etc. If you do not have any symptoms then you need not worry about it
