What do small bumps on the soft palate indicate?
Patient: I have tiny flesh colored pin size bumps on my soft palate and around the area where my nosal passage would drain into my throat. I don't feel them, there is no pain and I noticed then a little over a month ago. I've got post nasal drip almost daily, from what I think is allergies. What are they? Doctor: Hi..Thanks for the query..Small flesh coloured bumps on the soft palate and throat with post nasal drip can be due to causes like Sinusitis, Allergic reaction etc..So first of all you should consult an Emergency room and get evaluated and a clinical examination can be done and if needed a sinus x ray or blood test to rule out allergies can be done..For now you should do warm saline gargles and antiseptic mouthwash gargles.Sip on warm drinks and avoid spicy food..Hope this helps..Regards..
