Question: Hello. 5 days ago I went to my doctor for a physical exam, and to discuss anxiety that I've been struggling with and to discuss a small bump about the size of a small pea in the back of my throat. I was very concerned about the bump because I fist started feeling like there was something in the back of my throat about 2 weeks prior to my doctor visit. I have no trouble breathing, swallowing, or talking. There's no pain or redness, just an annoying, irritated feeling of something being stuck in the back of my throat. When the doctor looked at it, she told me it was my salivary gland and that it's nothing to be worried about and that I should use lemon drops. I can see the bump with a flashlight so I know that there is an actual bump in the back of my throat, and It's only on one side of my mouth. I still have the bump there 5 days after the visit while using lemon drops and gargling with warm salt water, and almost 3 weeks after I first started noticing something there. Is this a normal timeframe for something like this or should I seek further medical evaluation?

Here is a picture of bump in the back of my throat. Please tell me what you think.
