A member asked:

Bumps in Throat: The red bumps are lymph follicles in the mucous membranes surrounding your throat. Any irritation, virus, or bacterial infection may cause these to enlarge after exposure. Unless the irritation is constant, the bumps will subside over time. If they stay enlarged, go see your doctor.
