What Causes Yellow Lump In The Back Of Throat?
I ve been sick for about 5 weeks with various upper respiratory issues. I went to the doctor again today with a sore throat, and she gave me some amoxicillin/penicillin. Upon inspection of my throat tonight, I found a rather large yellow lump in the back of my throat. It isn t near my tonsils (not tonsil stone) but rather in the very back of my throat, where post-nasal drip can be found. What is this yellow lump?

Hi thanks for shring your problem here in this forum...
Yellow lump that you are telling about in the posterior region is most probabally the post nasal drip or the yellow flacks over the posterior pharyngial wall...that is found when the damaged tissue gets infected...if your doctor have examined you then it may not be something dangrous...you should take the medications advised by doctor...hope it will be fine soon...i will add one thing to do saline gorgals frequently.....thanks
