Infected Lump Beside The Uvula. Pus Formation. Silent Heart Burn And Sinus Problems. Cure?
I just noticed a lump right beside my uvula . It kinda looks like it is infecte. It s flesh looking but at bottom looks as though it might have pus in it. My throat is real red and irritated looking. I clear my throat constantly and have been told by ENT that I have silent heartburn and sinus problems. My throat doesn t feel sore. What could this be?

You need to have an ENT consultation and get examined .
And also you need to have antibiotic broad spectrum with proper anaerobic organism coverage.
Also you need to have anti inflammatory medications .
take anti reflux medications

multivitamin twice daily
Keep head end of bed elevated.
Avoid alcohol, Smoking
Do brisk walking daily
