What Causes A Flesh-colored Lump On My Tonsil?

Hello, I have had a flesh coloured lump on my tonsil for about three days now it is actually on my tonsil the size of a Pea I have tried to touch it and it is quite hard. please do you know what this is or could be? I am worried as I do not have any other symptoms like sore throat or anything other than this lump I feel fine it is just irritating the back of my throat because I can constantly feel it there on my left tonsil. I will try to send a picture . Thanks

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of flesh-colored lump on tonsil which seems to be due to inflammation of tonsils and lumps over there along with inflammation of papillae of tongue.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to do warm saline gargles. You should take steam inhalation and avoid hot and spicy food and you should take soft food. Take antibiotics like Azithromycin along with Ibuprofen for around 5-7 days. Maintain proper oral hygiene. Visit ENT specialist once and go for throat swab test to rule out any hidden systemic pathology. Start treatment after proper diagnosis.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
