What Can Cause Small Red Bumps In The Back Of My Throat?
Hi im 25 yrs old and I noticed I have a small red bump in the back of my throat and also a bigger bump a little higher than the smaller but the bigger is hard behind it like bone and goes upwards and they are painless. (Wouldn't have noticed they were there without flashlight bc I cannot feel them otherwise). My allergies are always going and have post nasal drip a lot. Also have heart burn. I have anxiety and I am terrified of what it is whichever Dr. Sees this please help sooth my anxiety.

Hello!
dont worry, most likely the bumps are due to enlarged follicles . which may enlarge either due to the post nasal drip or acid reflux. please meet your doctor , he will do endoscopy on you and be able to guide you further.
thanks
