Have A Vitamin With A Gel Type Coating Got Stuck To The Tonsils. What To Do For This?

I swallowed a vitamin with a gel type coating and it felt like it was stuck to my tonsil. Now over three weeks later it still feels like there is something stuck on my tonsil. There appears to be a bump that looks like a skin tag on my tonsil but its not red or infected or anything but it is driving me crazy! It also looks like the tonsil is half the size of the other one. I have always had large tonsils but now that one looks "deflated".

Hello

Thanks for writing to H.C.M.

I read your query regarding bump on your tonsil of one side and it gives you feeling of as something gets stuck in your tonsil.

You said that you are already having big size tonsils it means you are already suffering from chronic tonsillitis, and now this bumps is either a tonsillar cyst or polyp. As far as treatment is concern tonsillectomy is the only permanent solution for your problem. But you may consult ENT specialist for thorough examination and relevent investigations to finalise the diagnosis and accordingly your treatment may be planed.

Regards.
