What Causes Blisters At The Back Of The Throat?
Hello. I have been getting bumps or maybe blisters in the back of my throat recently. They are not painful and if I stick my finger in I can feel them. They happen on either side of my throat primarily after I eat. I noticed them about 4 months after having a tonsillectomy. My tongue feels them or I feel them if I swallow. Could this be harmful or related to the tonsillectomy? I am concerend.

Thanx dear..you may have enlarged lingual tonsills which may compensatory enlarge after tonsillectomy in some people.They are not painful and not dangerous. They are normally present and usually not felt. but in some people after tonsillectomy their size can be increased. nothing to worry about it.
