Suggest Medication To Cure Sore Throat And Swallowing Difficulty
I have had a severely sore throat for about 10 days ever since waking up puking acid from reflux at night. I noticed last night I have a nickle size white fleshy lesion looking thing on my throat behind my uvula, that still makes it super tuff to swallow, what is wrong with me?

Hello,
Fleshy lesion behind uvula needs to investigated with a biopsy. The lesion may cause difficulty in breathing and difficulty in swallowing. I suggest you to consult an ENT specialist for clinical assessment and biopsy of the lesion to know the exact nature of the lesion and hence treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
