I have recently noticed that I have some lumps on the back of my throst
similar to those pictured here:

They are orangey coloured and on the back of my throat. (Ignore the
white stuff in that photo!)

Can anybody tell me what they are and if they are normal!?

Many thanks.

This is posterior pharyngeal lymphoid hyperplasia, itself a generally
benign condition but often associated with allergies.
