Suggest Treatment For Bump In Throat Area Near Uvula

When I look into a mirror I see a bump on my throat area, near my uvula, my throat is killing me and I used a OTC throat spray which numbs it for seconds then it goes back to hurting. I have sinus and its that time of year again but I have a major headache and I get head rushes constantly, my ears are tender but not red

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello
I appreciate your concern
Looking at your description thus could be inflamed tonsil or enlarged adenoids

I would like further information to guide you better
Your age sex and relevant medical history
Since how long you have this problem

I would advise you to consult an ENT surgeon for physical check up and a battery of tests like CBC and throat swab culture
You may require a course of antibiotics under supervision of your doctor

Meanwhile you should do gargling with warm saline water or antiseptic mouth wash
Avoid cold drinks and ice creams
Have lukewarm water to drink
Avoid smoking
You can do deep breathing exercises

Hope this answers your question
Thanks and regards
