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

      Hi

      It is because of acid reflux, you need to get on a diet avoid anything cold, white sugar.

      I also used to smoke and have since stopped and i can see it getting better.

      i wouldnt worry about it too much.

    To give you guys an update...

    I've went to 6 different doctors and they all said that it isn't something I must worry, so I kinda forgot that it was there. But it's still the same size.

      i had glandular fever in 2017 and since then have been on and off with tonsillitis, laryngitis etc. went to hospital 5 months ago when they first appeared and they thought it could be hand foot and mouth.. which i knew it wasn't.. the referral then said it was laryngitis and 5 months later they are still here. so i went to the doctors 3 days ago who said it could be another batch of glandular.. but they said to medicate first and if it doesn't go away I'll have a blood test
