A member asked:
I have the cold and now i see white bumps at the back of my throat and on my tonsils it hurts to swallow could it be the cold or something else ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. can check throat: New throat pain can be from a strep throat infection (antibiotics are needed), a cold or influenza (antibiotics usually not used), or from some other cause such as allergies or irritants. Usually, a person sees the doctor if the sore throat is bothersome, recurrent, or doesn't go away quickly (mainly to check for strep throat). A couple days of throat lozenges and Tylenol may decrease symptoms.

I have a medium yellowish bump in the back of my throat. No soreness or anything just kind of hard to swallow. I'm pretty sure it's not tonsil stones.
