Red painless bumps on pharynx
Hello, I am female 20. I was worried that I might have oral hpv in my pharynx but my partner and I never engaged in sex with anyone before we dated. So we both are clean. I tested for all other STD's & they came back negative. I also have some swollen lymphnodes on my neck for a while now. I went to 3 different ENT specialists to have my throat checked out but they said it is due to chronic reflux laryngitis. So I am taking Zantac 150 but I am worried. I also did ultrasound on the lumps but they said it was a normal lymph node & I shouldn't worry about it. Could they be right that it is due to acid reflux?
Hi there,
You've gone through all the correct steps! If your doctors have done all STD testing and ran other important tests, then you should probably take their diagnosis. If you still feel unsure, I would recommend seeing another doctor, although I feel that checking with three is quite a lot already for another opinion. How long have you been taking the Zantac 150? If it hasn't been very long, then I would wait for awhile longer to see if your systems gradually go away or get better.

I have been taking it 3 days ago. I realized I haven't done a pap smear on my genital area. Should I consider?
