Throat problem
In my throat in the pharynx in the left side .. I've to really bend my head to see it... I can see a small red bump with a white dot in the center like a head.. And a small blister like beside it.. Does not pain.. Only feels a little irritated when I swallow food.. I've been on antibiotics for two weeks... At first there was a burning sensation in my throat but now that has gone.. But since I feel irritated or scratchy a bit when I swallow I looked close and deep and found this.. Please help

You seem to be looking at whitish debris over tonsils which is not really abnormal. This condition is known as keratosis pharyngeus. Usually no specific treatment is required. You may need to do salt water gargling for few days
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
