So I had a sore threat around 7 days ago (got a cough afterwards, and a slight cold) and I checked my throat in the mirror with a light and i noticed small red bumps at the back of my mouth. This was the first time i've ever actually looked at my throat when sick so I don't know if this is a normal occurance. My sore throat has been gone for 3 days now, and I only cough a bit at night now, i'm mostly fine already just the lingering cough and very slightly runny nose but the red bumps are still there. I don't know if this is caused by the sickness or if I already had these before hand. Any idea what these are?

    Your throat looks very similar to what I'm going through now with mine?  Any updates on this.  How are you doing?

    about 3 weeks ago I swallowed a potato chip wrong and it scratched the back of my throat I looked in the mirror saw a small red bump where my tonsil used to be . went to the doctor he did a strep test no strep throat he said it was viral two weeks later go back to him he said it's an ulcer. Then I go to the dentist a week later he said it is a piece of my tonsil growing back he asked when I had my tonsils removed and I said I was about 5 which was over 50 years ago and he said that happens.

    hey plz plz plz help me

    I got diagnosed with pharyngitis almost a couple months ago

    on the first few days of infection about 20 small red white bumps and lining appeared on back of my throat.

    I felt like something is stuck in my mouth and cough, doc treated me with sultimicilin Amoxycillin and said it is due to post nasal drip. he recommend steaming with vapour capsules. my course is completed every symptoms is gone now. but those 20 bumps and linings are still present there. I'm very worried about those things. plz help me.. anyone plzzz

    Can someone help me figure out what this could be? I believe I have post nasal drip because I fit all of the symptoms, but I noticed these red bumps on the back and sides of my throat yesterday. I am getting super stressed out as to what they may be
