Lumpy, irritated throat, but not sore... what could it be?


For a couple of weeks I have felt a lump in my throat- sort of close to the tongue. It moves around occasionally. Sometimes it feels itchy. I have also noticed large red bumps on the back of my tongue that haven't always been there- swollen tastebuds, perhaps? It does feel like there's something stuck in my throat. Also, my throat and neck are a little hard and stiff. However, it has not been extremely sore- a little dry, maybe- and I have had no difficulty swallowing. Anyone know what this could be?

I kind of lean towards possible allergies, which I have a problem with when the weather changes, but I'm afraid it MIGHT be something more serious- maybe a growth of some sort? I have had my tonsils and adenoids removed, by the way.

that's what you get for kissing the wrong girls on their tulips !, lol

It went away, with no medical help, in one week.

And no, I don't think I got it from kissing anybody on the tulips. Report It

maybe strep
see a doc

You need to see an ENT (ear, nose and throat doc) to have it diagnosed properly.
