Hi doctor, I am 21 years old. I had a bad cold back before five months. After self-examination of my throat, I noticed a row of growths under my palatine tonsils, right beside my lingual tonsils. I had visited an ENT doctor and the specialist insisted that they were just harmless lingual tonsils and followed the statement with lingual tonsils can be cryptic in architecture. These growths have no pain associated with them. They appear to be flesh colored and slightly firm to my observation. The ENT also purported that I had no abnormal masses or lymph node swelling. I do sometimes experience a cracking or air bubble popping sensation in my jaw while chewing. One of my wisdom teeth has come up and has caused infection sometimes. I believe it was called pericoronitis. There is a flap of gum tissue hanging over, although I digress. Is this condition normal? Is it caused by an underlying infection? I must also note that I have had sinus drain since the day of my cold. It has gotten better, but I also figured it could be chronic sinusitis. I also feel like when I talk too much, I notice frequent dry throat faster than usual. Rarely, I feel a lump in my throat in the area of trachea or Adam's apple. Sometimes, prior or after swallowing. I do not smoke, drink or do any drugs. I do cardio every night and I am a bodybuilder. I eat as organic as possible and not on any medication. My last sexual activity was before eight months. I am adding these comments to clear up any questions relating to diet and activity. My throat sometimes gets sore and usually alleviates the symptoms with natural remedies, essential oils, and dietary supplements. Please diagnose this and reassure my good health. Stress has been killing me as I am never sick. My blood work shows everything to be normal except slight elevation in WBC. Also, I have noted to have a low temperature of around 97.3 or so. Is this Wilson's syndrome?
