What Do Sore Bumps In The Throat Indicate?
On the back of my throat there are sore bumps that look like ulcers, and the dangly bit at the back of my throat is swollen and sore and it has a red bump of it too. It really hurts to swallow and even just rest it. The roof of my mouth hurts too but i think I might have burned it?
