weird bumps on back of tongue and throat?

Taste buds: Likely what you are noticing are your taste buds and possibly some lymph gland tissue (tonsil ) which is normally there. Often they will look like suction cups with stalks holding them up. Normal stuff - not to worry. If you see red/white spots on back of throat, then see MD as it may be strep.

Question 7

why does scratching the back of my throat with my tongue result in more itching and a cold days following?

Accepted Answer

Two things...: One, the need to scratch the back of your throat may be started by early, early viral infection(cold) setting in as a mildly itchy throat from inflammation in the tissue is one of the first signs of a cold. Otherwise, if you did not have a viral infection already, itching there too much can cause inflammation, allowing the tissue to be more easily infected by a virus, leading to a cold.

Question 8

i can feel something towards the back of my throat behind my tongue. i can't see anything but feel it there. should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

Post nasal drip: It may be post nasal drip but also can be throat irriation, this can result from nasal allergies, chronic sinusitis, acid reflux and smoking. Try a nasal saline spray and/or an antacid, depending on other symptoms you may have and if the problem persists, you need to see a doctor.

Question 9

white lesions on my tongue and a few at the back of my throat. the come and go but not completely for about a year now. what could it be?

Probably all OK: This doesn't sound abnormal, but see a doctor if you remain concerned; or bring it to your dentist's attention at your next routine appointment.

Question 10

i have a small growth on the back of my throat that i can feel with tongue. thought it was food but its not. no symptoms for a week. what is it?

Accepted Answer

Growth: I don't believe you can feel the back of your throat with the tip of your tongue, but you can feel the roof of your mouth, insides of your cheeks,floor of your mouth and your gums with the tip of your tongue.. A physician or Otolaryngologist would have to perform a throat examination for you.
