Alright so I am still anxious about the same issue. I have had a lot of weird shooting pain feelings in my throat and also have been to the doctor a couple times for throat worries. My doctor said at first it was cobblestone which makes sense because I have constant post nasal drip as well as Gerd. Also my tonsils are swollen I am only 19 and can't shake the fear of throat cancer. I will attached a picture of my throat later when I can I'm going back to the doc next week. If it were you would you be freaking out or am I overreacting. I have a bump looking thing on my tonsillar pillar. Can post nasal drip affect that part of your throat?
