Suggest Treatment For Flesh-colored Bumps On Tonsil
Question: I have two flesh colored bumps that are connected/pressed together on my left tonsil. They do not hurt and appear to be the same color as the surrounding area and look smooth. I'm really nervous about what they are. I can send you a picture of them as well.
Brief Answer:
Better to send the picture of left tonsil
Detailed Answer:
Hi Mam,
I have gone through your question and understand your concern and worry; it seems to be normal finding of the tonsil if your tonsil is non painful and color of surrounding fleshy mass is same as rest of tonsil.
But I would like to view the image. So do send me the image of your left tonsil for better comment and management. There is an option to upload image here on this page.

I do have allergies and sleep with mouth open .
Brief Answer:
No relation with allergy and sleep with mouth open
Detailed Answer:
Hi Mam,
I have gone through your follow up question and image; it suggests that this fleshy mass has no relation with allergy and sleeping with mouth open.
I would like to inform that most probably this fleshy mass is the hypertrophy of that region of the tonsil.
