    Throat bumps?
    Got a weird question. I have had frequent sore throats for a while now, I don't have insurance. I was eating today and the right side of my mouth hurt and was sore I put my tongue on the way back roof of my mouth actually its not even the roof its way past that in the back of throat. (I had to kind of bend my tongue back) and I felt two hard bone like bumps one one each side. One of them is sore.
    What are these things? And are they abnormal? I mean are they part of the throat?

    These are tonsils. If they are sore, you probably have something that should be treated. For me, this happened when I had strep throat. It came back 3 times in 4 months until I took antibiotics. Go to a local clinic, they'll probably see you and treat you for about $100. Or, call around and ask docs for pricing for people without insurance. My doc (when I was a freelancer and had no insurance) charged $50 for a well visit - even cheaper.
