A member asked:
What are red bumps in the back of my throat? i've had them for over a year and have been coughing for 3. no doctor can find out what is wrong with me.

Throat bumps: Bumps on the back of the throat are most commonly simple lymphoid aggregates, or small bits of tonsil-like tissue that are present throughout the throat. They shouldn't be the cause of coughing, however. I suspect the two are not related. I would have you see an ENT regarding the cough, though.
