Pimple like substance at the back of the throat. painful while swallowing. hurts real bad. what could it be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Doctor can look: Throat symptoms 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 throat symptoms are bothersome, recurrent or don't go away quickly (mainly to check for strep throat). Throat lozenges and Tylenol (acetaminophen) can lessen pain temporarily.
