Having Lump In The Tonsils With White Patch, Smoking, Family History Of Cancer. What Could This Be?

Hi i have a lump on my tonsils with a white patch. I ve been smoking more about 3 years and I keep having to frequently clear my throat . I did some research online some saying its normal, or some infection while others saying its serious. I m not sure what to think of it especially when my family does have some history with cancer . Please let me know what it could be.

Hi, Welcome to HCM, I am Dr. Das
I dont know what you are thinking about? Researching online can not cure your condition or diagnose what you really have. And one more thing, it is impossible for anyone to give opinion in this case without examining the lesion properly.
Just go to a Doctor and do a thorough examination.
