Allergies: You have allergies and notice a red lump on your throat.  This most likely is related to post nasal drip.  You could try nasocort over the counter.  As your allergies get better so too will the swelling.  If not see your doctor.

Question 9

i just checked my throat in the mirror and i saw a reddish lump (no pain) on the back of my throat (pharynx). i't soft to the touch. what can it be?

Accepted Answer

Lymph gland: The most common lump in the pharynx (back of throat) is hyperplastic lymph tissue.  It could be a cyst as well.  If you are a non-smoker, I would not worry about this. On the other hand, if you are a smoker (pack a day), consult and ENT doctor for further diagnosis.

Question 10
