do we have salivary glands in our throats? I have two tear shape looking ducts in my throat, just below my tonsil. The one on the right looks whitish, as if it has a lottle pus pocket in it. no pain or swelling though been to the gp who said it was nothing to worry about.It has looked like this for the past 4 weeks, since i noticed it and has not changed in appearance.
anyhing to worry about?

what could this be?

Worrier, you're being stupid! :D You are though..but it's ok...we're all stupid here on this forum sometimes...

don't worry about your yellow/white blobs or anything else! Your throat is fine. You KNOW that deep down...even the doc said it.

Now cheer up and get out and live!
