Suggest Treatment For Painful Lumps At The Back Of The Throat
Question: I was looking at my wisdom teeth and noticed two small lumps on the back of my throats right next to my tonsils. It's not painful, I am not having problems swallowing or anything, im just nervous. One almost looks like a skin tag, the other just kind of looks like a lump. Should I get it checked out? I am an occasional smoker with no family history of throat cancer or any cancer. I have pictures if needed. I'm a 25 year old female.
Brief Answer:
Yes, let’s see the pictures!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for contacting us.
Given your age, being an occasional smoker and no family history, cancer of the throat is very unlikely at this time. However, I will like to review the images so as to be able to provide further insights and guidance.
In all, a cancer is unlikely. Upload images for further review and insights.

Thank you so much. I was up all night crying worried i had cancer. I really appreciate you following up with me, i hope you have a good day!
Brief Answer:
NO CANCER!
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your kind words. Cancer will never start with two lumps unless it becomes a far advanced one. You are clearly not there and that’s a benign tissue flap.
I wish you well. Stay well. Occasional smoking isn’t good for health. I will appreciate you giving it a serious thought about quitting.
If you decide so and need help, kindly write back to me. Believe me, life is a lot better without smoking....[Personal experience].
Kind regards!
