Elongated Bump in Back of Throat
Hi.
I have this elongated bump at the back wall of the throat for months now.
It do not cause any issues and does not grow. It sometimes feels little bit smaller but is relatively same size forever.
Is this something normal or should I go to an ENT and get this checked.
