Hello,
YOu can not self examine as the throat is not visible easily.
We try to examine and miss interpret the normal anatomical structure.
YOu should get done ENT consultation . If there is a pus point or collection then you will require a MRI or CT scan ie radiological investigation to find out the problem . Or if not available then you can get done an endoscopy. So get ent consultation.
In doubt do reply
