Bump in the back of throat, is this normal?

Posted , 21 users are following.

I noticed this bump for over 5 months, it keeps the same size. I went to my GP and he said it was an allergic reaction, and the drugs he prescribed did nothing. I'm afraid it could be a tumor

    I too have a lump at very back of throat clise to epiglotis, which most can't c but I can. Matter fact iv got another on other side. ENT says it's lingual tonsils caused by acid reflux which I have as well. I too worry. Had a scope and ultra sound done. Sometimes it feels raw..

      My ent did two scopes and still says it's enlarged lingual tonsils..he didn't seem concerned at all..so I'm done worrying myself sick over it. Iv had these issues almost a year, so figure if it was serious, I'd have lost weight by now and I havent. It just sometimes feels raw, which I asume is due to acid reflux..

      No mine is on sides of the epiflotis. Looks like polyps really bit had two scopes and Ent checked them out with a light and all times said it's lingual and that lingual can form lime a circle..no mine doesn't look like the pic. Always something to stress ya...

    Hey 

    My throat looks EXACTLY like that and i've been to the doctors and he told me it was just a throat infection put me on anti biotics (Penicillin) and it made me feel nothing different. 

    2 weeks later it looks exactly the same and i'm worrying now. 

    Did you manage to find out what this is and get it sorted?
