I Noticed A Small Raised Area On The Arch Behind
Question: I noticed a small raised area on the arch behind my left tonsil. I have been suffering with bad post nasal drip for about a month. It doesn’t seem to hurt but feels scratchy. I have no other symptoms. Thoughts? I have included a picture
I am not sure why this question is showing up twice. Anyway thanks for the information. Did the picture come in. Like I said it is right on the edge of the back arch of where my tonsil sits. I am sure I had an infection. With the post nasal drip and I did have a sore throat about a month ago with it all started. What would be good to help with the drainage. I assume it will not get better until I get that under control?
