Age 40, Wt. 140. Have some sort of lump inside of mouth close to throat on right side...hurts when swallow...was told it was like a skin tab...but if doesn't go away should get checked out. Have only seen/felt it the last two days. Just trying to figure out what may have caused, etc.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern.


Thanks for your query. The bump inside mouth as you mention in query are inflammed subepithelial lymphoid tissues . They are present on both sides at the start of throat . They got inflammed whenever there presence of infection in oral cavity .

If there are inflammed sub epithelial tissue present along with tonsil enlargement it indicates bacterial infection . The infection of oral cavity like gum infection , tongue infection or tooth infection make these tissues inflammed .

So i would suggest you to consult dentist/ oral pathologist for proper examination and to rule out upper respiratory infection . Doctor may examine oral cavity physically , order X-ray or order blood test . He/she may perform scaling and curetage , root canal or prescribe antibiotics for infection.

For now do betadine rinses and gargles .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
