Question : I have some sort of small bumps on right side of my throat. I can feel it but can't see anything abnormal. It's almost like I should be able to cough it out, but can't. It came on suddenly and I've had it for a week now. Not getting worse, staying the same. It is sore on outside of neck by my jawbone and ear connection. I feel good and normal, it's just very annoying. No trouble swallowing at all, sometime I feel it when I swallow, sometimes not. I wasn't sure if I should see a doctor about it or not.
