Throat worries
Posted , 2 users are following.
So brief history. On June 6 I went into my doctors office to have a lump on my inner lip looked at. She said it wasn't cancerous and wanted to try some meds first. Then I was referred to an ENT after those didn't work and he diagnosed me with a mucocele. This mucocele was then removed on July 2.
However, During this time I kept googling and worrying about it being something serious. I began checking my throat and mouth almost every hour or every day. for months. Ever since the mucocele and me checking my throat constantly I've experienced a inflamed feeling in the back of my tongue and throat. I've felt like pieces of food were getting stuck and what have you in my throat.
I'm attaching a photo of what it looked like a month ago. It hasn't changed much since but I'm still experiencing similar symptoms.
Should I be worried?

I also had a mucocel, which grown on the inside, between my cheek and my teeths, due to my braces. It had to be surgically removed(simple procedure). I also remember that a few years ago I had something similar on my lip, same place, each autumn and spring(when I didnt drink enough water or I caught a cold).
Also, isn.t that the uvula?

Yes, I was speaking more of the back wall of my throat. I don't know if all that is normal or not.

True. I was just wondering if anyone else had a throat that looked like mine. I've been to a ENT and he says everything looks fine so I guess I gotta trust or go to a psychologist. lol

I'm assuming someone who has been to years and years of school knows if something serious is taking place. If I was you I would go see an ENT like I did.
