Throat lumps
Doctor, I am having sore throat since over 2 months.
Since 8 days, I have been taking antibiotics (Roxid-150 1-0-1) and redness had reduced. But now, some lumps have been formed thats touching the tongue.
Please tell if it could be cancerous or not.
Also, if not cancerous, is this temporary?

These are granules formed due to enlarged Lymph follicles in the back of the throat due to chronic irritation or infection. You have Chronic Pharyngitis due to allergy or irritation from reflux or infection. These are not Cancerous.
