Can acid reflux cause harm to throat?

Hi,

The picture is not clear (attachment removed to protect patient identity). This bulge can be enlarged adenoid. Do you have any pain in the throat or while swallowing? Do you have a fever? Do you snore while sleeping?

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Now, I can see it better (attachment removed to protect patient identity). Acid reflux can harm the throat badly, and this mass is most probably a result of the reflux. You have to treat the reflux with proton pump inhibitors. Avoid spicy and cold meals. The mass can grow partially or entirely, obstructing airways. It can cause snoring. You can also feel multiple palpable lymph nodes under the skin in your neck. In this situation, the mass should be examined histologically to determine its nature. At this condition, you need to be worried. But, now there is nothing to get worried.
