Suggest Remedy For Bumps On The Throat With Inflammation

Hello I ve had these bumps in my throat for about 6 months now and every time I smoke marijuana it makes these worse and my tonsils worse. I know for a fact I have tonsillitis at this point as every time I smoke they become inflamed and I get a sore throat for a day or 2 and then a headache followed by neck pain and feeling drained

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of bumps on the throat with inflammation. The bumps and inflammation is due to inflammation of tonsils leading to Tonsillitis and it is secondary to infection. Sometimes untreated dental infection also spread to throat. You can take a short course of antibiotics like Levofloxacin, anti-inflammatory painkillers like Ibuprofen,do warm saline gargles and do steam inhalations. Use a cool mist humidifier at night to relieve the throat. You can also gargle with a numbing mouthwash to relieve pain and avoid spicy and hard foods and also chilled foods and fluids. Sip on plenty of warm water throughout the day.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Harry Maheshwari
