Suggest Treatment For Growth Under The Tonsils Along With Redness
Question: I found a growth under my tonsils and it didn't have any pain but it seems to be growing or maybe I didn't notice it there before. Today after 3 days I started to have lots of dots and bumps appear with redness in the back of my throat. I'm worried about it and I don't know what it is!
Brief Answer:
It is part of your tonsil , no need to worry.
Detailed Answer:
Hi ,
Thanks for query .
I have read your query , seen your pictures & understand your concern.
After reading your clinical history & seeing your pictures , it appears to me you are having tonsillitis with pharyngitis .
In my opinion , it is a part of your tonsil . Tonsil have crept in it , when crept become deep it appears as a separate growth .
If I am your treating doctor , I would advice ,
Regular antiseptic mouth wash like betadin twice daily ,
Tab paracetamol for inflammation thrice daily .
You will get relief . No need to worry much.
Hope this information helpful .
Regards.
