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

I'm feeling something hairy-like deep down in my throat, and it's been going on for almost three months now. It makes me feel like I need to throw up or spit something out, but nothing actually comes out. This usually happens when I'm around dust or during a flu. I'm not pregnant, so I'm trying to figure out what's causing this sensation. Could you help me understand what's happening with my throat?
The symptoms you are describing could be due to post-nasal drip, which is a common condition where mucus accumulates in the back of your throat and can cause the sensation of something stuck or tickling in your throat. To help alleviate this discomfort, you can try using an over-the-counter antihistamine like Claritin (loratadine) once daily to reduce mucus production. Additionally, using a saline nasal spray like Ocean (sodium chloride) can help clear out any mucus in your nasal passages. If these symptoms persist, it would be advisable to consult with an ENT specialist for further evaluation and management.

I've been having this weird needle-like pain on the left side of my throat that kind of spreads to my left ear. It doesn't feel like a regular sore throat; it's barely noticeable, but it's there, and it's really freaking me out. I suffer from severe anxiety, and I'm just super worried it could be throat cancer. What do you think could be going on?
that could be mucosal congestion,no need to worry consume warm food for relief and you can do valsalva manoever for a better result.
