Growths of the Throat

I am 34 and have been having problems on the right side of my throat I dealt with it as much as I could on my own when my doctor said that they would have to put a scope down inside my throat and possibly laser off/close any open areas that were not normal and were catching food particles. But going on 2 years now and I have developed a geographic tongue and constantly fighting bad breath time for me to go to a ear/ nose/ throat specialist. Hope it goes well and hope things go well for others.

Weird im 18 and ive been getting these for a while i thought they were like a form of hallitosis or something since my breath always stinks but one of my moms friends told me its called a puss postule and just to push on it with my toothbrush, kinda like you all clean them with Q tips except its like popping a zit in the back of ur throat, be careful tho cus once it slid down my throat and i almost threw up thinking about it cus they smelll sooo bad. But my uncle is a microbiology teacher in college and he said its just microbacteria and that you should gargle salt water before u go to sleep and after u eat, and not to drink any frozen drinks or really cold drinks until it goes away. Im gonna see how that goes
