How To Get Rid Off From White Cyst And Mucus In Tonsil?
i have a small white cyst in my right tonsil. it looks as though there is a pin size opening at the top of the cyst. the rest of the surroynding area is swollen. on the other tonsil it looks as though there is a wall of hardened mucous or something. it just stays there.

Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query.
The pin sized opening over the tonsil can be a pus discharging sinus tract secondary to peritonsillar abscess. Nothing to be panic, consult an ENT surgeon and get it evaluated. Mean while you can take a course of antibiotics like levofloxacin(if you are not allergic). If the infection is not subsiding even after the medication, you need to get the tonsils removed surgically.
I hope i have answered your query. Take care
