Red spot back of throat

[jzinckgra]

About 6 weeks ago I got sick with a nasty bronchial infection, which started as a mild flu-like illness. The cough and sore throat that came after lasted until early June. Back then I took the flashlight and was checking out my throat and saw a red spot, partially raised with what looked like a blister in the middle. Of course my anxiety was raised, but I blew it off to the infection. Several days later I checked again and it was nearly gone, both blister and redness. FYI, this spot is all the way back, not near tonsils.



A few days ago I go checking my throat and the spot is back, but no blister. Just a somewhat raised reddened spot. Here goes my anxiety again. Not sure if this related to having been sick or something else. I've got some reflux lately, which I get periodically and wondering if this could be causing the issue. I've made an appt with my doc this friday to have her take a look. Of course I always assume the worse. :wacko:


Sorry, just realized I posted to wrong forum. Mods, please move to throat symptom forum, thanks.

Got a last minute appt with my doc. Turns out the spot is my adenoid that is inflamed either due to virus, stress or allergies. I think it's allergies since my ears have been plugged off/on for awhile now. So my anxiety is squashed for now until the next thing comes along:winks:


One thing I'd normally due in this instance is start googling "adenoids and allergies, virus". Nope, not going to do it. There's no point. I trust the dr and am moving on. Anxiety can stick it.:yesyes:
