Suggest Remedies For Bumps Under The Tongue And In The Throat

my teen son has bumps on the back of his tongue and down his throat. They are the same color as his tongue and throat tissue. He says he feels like a flap of skin is in his throat and is experiencing shortness of breath when walking at a normal to slightly faster pace.

Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As per your complain it seems that bumps at the back of tongue and throat can be due to throat infection or acid reflux leading to the sensation of skin flap in throat and also shortness of breath. There can also be associated lung infection. But for confirmation consult an ENT expert and get evaluated and a thorough clinical examination and investigations like Laryngoscopy or upper G.I Endoscopy can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly.

As of now do warm saline gargles, suck throat lozenges and suck throat lozenges. Sip on plenty of warm water. Do steam inhalations.

Hope this information helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora
