What Causes Painful Yellow Line In The Back Of Throat?
I have a painful yellow line in the back of my throat. I have gargled with salt water for almost two weeks now and it is only getting larger and even more painful. I have a doctor apt. in four days. I was just curious about what this may be and if there anything to help it over the weekend? Tiffany

Hi
This sounds like cobblestone pharyngitis which is caused by gastric acid reflux but there may also be a throat infection present
