Brief Answer:
Prominent glands.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
I have seen the attached image. The swelling that you have mentioned are prominent taste buds and glands. These are not related to cesarean delivery that you had three months ago. The throat irritation that you have can be due to an allergy. It can decrease in size once the irritation subsides. Taking oral lozenges and ant allergic- Levocet will help.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
