I am noticing these bumps in my throat since last night and panicking about cancer, i might not be having anything related to it but google is full of suggestions related to cancer which leads me into more tension. Please anybody can help me here or give the right info related to it please
I felt a bump in my throat two years ago, saw a ENT who put a camera down my throat (after spraying an anaesthetic) and proved I had a benign tumor.
He suggested surgery but I chose medications instead.
I suggest you ask your primary Dr for an opinion and if he/she has none then ask to be referred to a ENT who will in most cases diagnose the issue in your first visit.
I wish I could give you a definite answer, but only a ENT doctor can do that. In any case, I have a few guesses.
As this region has many small mucous glands and lymphoid tissue, it may be an obstruction in a small gland or an increase in volume of this lymphoid tissue due to an inflammatory or allergic process.
My second guess is a tumor, which can be benign or not.
The best thing to do is to have an imaging exam of this area to get a correct diagnosis and thus go through the appropriate treatment.
There is no reason to despair, just visit the doctor and take the appropriate treatment.
