I have had swollen glands for around 6 months now. I've seen the doctor and he took my bloods and said there was nothing to worry about. I had put this to the back of mind until lumps at the back of my tongue appeared. They feel as though I have a bit of food stuck in my throat and go as far back as I can see. Alongside the swollen glands is this something to worry about?
Lumps at the back of tongue refers to tonsillar swelling. Your symptoms are suggestive of swelling over the peritonsillar crypts and inflammed tonsills. it can be an abscess called as quinsy as well. Exact diagnosis can be made only after clinical examination and evualtion my endoscopy. please refer to a physician and get the examination done. i hope this helps, take care.
