I ve got a bump at the back of my throat, it s the same colour as the rest of y throat but visible and painless. Touched it with my finger and couldn t feel it, no other symptoms like sore throats or coughing or anything are present, I feel completely normal I only know it s there through examination in mirror. Please respond to put my mind at ease. Thank you.

Hi.
I would have been happy to know the size of the lump and continuity up the back of nose if present.
Anyway: Bump at the back of throat, same color, painless, no symptoms can be a polyp hanging from the nose. Or can be a big granuloma or can be due to protrusion from the vertebra.
I would advise you to consult an ENT Surgeon to confirm what is it and need of treatment.
Many painless swellings may need removal or a proper diagnosis of the underlying cause.
