What Does A Bump On The Epiglottis Indicate?

I have a bump on my epiglottis. I stuck my finger down there and it s on the upper edge. Very small bump but hard (size of a pimple). Its very annoying because I always feel like there is something stuck in my throat. It s been going on for over a year now. My doctor had sent me to get a sonogram of my thyroid but nothing was found. Have not been to an emt yet but I believe I also have tonsil stones too could this be related? Should I be concerned?

Hello,

It could be a harmless nodule.

Consult an ENT specialist and get evaluated.

As of now, do warm saline gargles for symptomatic relief.

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