How Can Throat Lumps Around The Epiglottis Be Treated?

Hi. I had an endoscopy today re lumps at back of my throat. I had tonsillectomy about 30 years ago. They found a significant number of lumps at the back of my throat and around the epiglottis. I didn t understand the explanation although I am reassured its nothing sinister. Something about regeneration and acid reflux??
