Question

my sister has a sore throat and a white lump at the back of her mouth and she finds hard to swallow so i just wanted 2 know does anybody know what it is

Answer 1

She may have tonsilitis or a throat infection. I'd make her see a doctor she probably needs anti biotics.

Answer 2

Sounds like a throat infection, only clinical examination by your sister's GP can diagnose what the problem is and how severe, maybe need a swab taken for investigation. Whilst she is waiting for an appointment at the surgery ( if she has to ), the pharmacist can advise, with an over the counter treatment to keep her more comfortable meantime, and keep up the water intake.

Answer 3
