instruction: hi doctor I had a tonsil stone removed a few days ago thinking that is what I was feeling in my throat but it was not there is something else I feel when I swallow it does not hurt but just uncomfortable it looks black maybe like a pimple or some kind of a bump
output: hello I went through the picture you sent the throat especially the posterior pharyngeal wall and palatine pillars appear a bit congested now this could be due to a few reasons either allergy and repeated throat itch infection flu and acid reflux there also seems to be minimal post nasal drip we of course can see the blood clot it could be due to the removal of the stone and the area could have had mild bleeding which eventually formed the clot will you please provide us more details is there any allergy symptom runny nose itch watering of eyes sneezing breathing difficulty etc do you smoke or drink how many times are you gargling how are your eating habits do you have a fever or weakness I would suggest if it were just minimal allergy or flu to take an antihistaminic tablet decongestant or saline nasal spray and a proton pump inhibitor I would go with zyeartec and protonic for a few days zyeartec in the evenings and protonic before breakfast for a week avoid spicy and oily diet desist from smoking and drinking temporarily but it would be ideal if you provide us the details sought so that we can make a more decisive diagnosis and get you the right advice
