What Causes Lump On Left Tonsil?
I have a large white mass on my left tonsil. I read up on tonsil stones and assumed it was that, but I could not extract it with a Q-tip. I went to my Doctor and he told me it s just a stone, nothing to worry about and that I should just leave it alone. I have had a sense of something stuck in my throat for months now and have been coughing up fleshy mucus occasionally. Today I looked at it again with a bright flashlight and I can see veins on it. I don t think it is a tonsil stone. Any ideas?

Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having tonsillar abscess producing white mass with congestion on the part.
Due to irritation of abscess you feel irritating cough.
Consult your doctor and get examined.
You might require one course of antibiotic medicine course for 7 days.
Do antiseptic gargles.
Ok and take care.
