Suggest Treatment For Bumps At The Back Of Throat
Question: My question is, are the bumps on the soft palate at the back of my throat in the picture cancer? Also, and perhaps it has always been this way, but it seems like the last couple of years it always feels like there is some phlegm or something in my throat when I swallow and I can't dislodge it. Sometimes when I swallow hard about 10 times the feeling will go away but it always returns fairly quickly.
Brief Answer:
Right tonsilar cyst and granular pharyngitis
Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir,
I have gone through your query and images; it suggests that most probably you may be suffering from right tonsilar cyst and granular pharyngitis.
No need to worry, it is not the cancer.
Go for throat swab culture and antibiotic sensitivity and treatment according to test result.
