I went to the doctor about 2 months ago for a possible herpes exposure, the test came back negative. I played it safe and got another test a little further out recently (7 weeks since exposure) and it came back negative as well. It might be completely unrelated but I noticed that it felt weird, no pain, for me to swallow. I looked in the back of my throat and noticed this lump (see picture) back there. I did have chills and a minor headache a couple days before I noticed it. It does not cause me pain I just feel it every time I swallow. It is about half the size a an eraser (very small) and it causes no pain really but it is there. Just wanted to know what it looks like to you because it's not an ulcer. Just want to ease my mind a bit. I gargled yesterday and woke up this morning and believe it is going down. I gargled again this morning. So hopefully that is a great sign! Please advise.
