    If you have difficulty swallowing or speaking you should see an Ear Nose and Throat specialist who will put a camera down your throat to have a look.

    I have this done 3x a year for a lump and under a mild anaesthetic spray into the throat and nose, the camera goes down without any pain or gagging.

    Good luck to you.

      Sorry I did not see your reply until now. I was tied up with work.

      Have you seen the ENT?

      Ensure you tell her or him about ALL your symptoms. As mentioned, I have a growth in my throat called a GRANULOMA which I know can cause ear pain. So far I don't have that pain. The pain, when it comes is on the same side as the soreness.

      Best of luck.

    My throat looks very similar. I have the same bumps. They appeared after a bacterial infection which was treated with antibiotics, but the bumps remained. Have had them for two months now.

    This looks like cobblestone throat. It is caused by irritation of acid reflux or post nasal drip. Hope this helps.
