Suggest Remedies For Big Hard Bone Like Lump Behind The Throat
I am 26 years old and I have a big hard bone like lump at the back of my throat that can only be seen behind my uvula when I breathe inward. It is very hard and overall it is common for me to have a nasal drip from allergies, so my throat is always a little sore from that in the morning.

Hi
Thanks for posting on HCM
The throat region has tonsils that function as immune organs in that area.Chronic tonsils infection if not handled may evolve to give a hard bone-like structure.I will suggest you see an ENT for examination.If the problem is caused by chronic tonsil infection, tonsilectomy may be a good option to consider.It may as well be caused by a any other throat condition including mass.Your ENT will be in the best place to handle and take treatment decisions.
Hope this will help you
Best regards
