How To Get Rid Of Reddish Bump In Throat?

I often get a small reddish bump on the right side wall of my throat after eating, it usually goes away on its own after a day or so. It doesn t hurt it just feels like you have something stuck to your throat wall, ie like tomatoe or popcorn skin. What is it? and How can i get rid of it? Thanks

Hello,

The possible causes are:
1. Viral or streptococcus pharyngitis
2. Acid reflux may lead to erosion
3. It may be Aphthous ulcers
4. Fungal Infection et cetera

Follow the below treatment plan:
1. Use salt water gargling, avoid spicy food and alcohol
2. Use tablet pantoprazole before breakfast for one week if you are having acidity

If symptoms not improved, please consult your ENT specialist, he/she will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
