What Causes A Bump In The Back Of The Throat?

Hi. I m 23 and two weeks ago I was suffering from a cold and I developed a very bad cough. I bought an inhaler from the pharmacy to help with my cough and a few days later I felt a pea sized bump on the back of my throat. It feels like I haven t swallowed something and I can always feel it there. Plus, I ve been bulimic for quite a while, but I only do it about three times a week. Not sure if there is any relation to my bump. Please help?

Hi,

Noted your history about developing cold, cough, used inhaler, developed pea size granuloma at the back of throat, is bulimic three times a week wants to know whether related to the lump at the back of throat.

Bulimia is a psychological condition and needs counselling and treatment under the care of a Psychiatrist after doing necessary tests to rule out any condition like diabetes or hormonal problems. The lump at the back of throat needs to be seen by an ENT Surgeon, investigated and treated as per the cause of found. Proper management of cold, cough and the lump by appropriate antibiotic, anti-inflammatory medicines, symptomatic and supportive management can help you to get cured of all the problems.Do povidone iodine gargles at bed time.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
