Suggest Treatment For Small Pea Sized Bump On Tonsil

I am a 20 year old female and am fairly healthy. I do no smoke but I drink occasionally. I just discovered a pea sized flesh colored bump peaking out right behind my right tonsil. I touch it and it can move, it almost looks like a muscle on the arch but its not on my left tonsil. It doesn t hurt, I have no symptoms, I can swallow and drink with no pain so I have no idea what it could be! Please help

Hello,

Your symptoms seem to be related to a tonsil cyst.

If you don't have any other symptoms such as fever or throat pain there is nothing to be worried.

No treatment is required.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
