Constant need to clear the throat

2017-09-24 05:28:08
About 8 months ago, I had a cold. I took amoxicillin as instructed and some other common medications. After all the symptoms disappeared, everything seemed fine. But in a month or so, I noticed that I constantly try to clear my throat. I checked how it looked and I've noticed some kind of tumor above my left tonsil. Every morning and every evening my throat starts to feel sore, and sometimes it happens during the day as well.7 months has passed, but the problem persists.I'd appreciate any advice
