Is Lump Below Tonsil And Swollen Gland In Neck Concerning?

Hi, My throat problems starting 2 months ago when I took tonsilitis I was given antibiotics which cleared it up but 2 weeks later I took an ulcer below left tonsil, had more antibiotics which cleared that but then I noticed a small pointy lump below my left tonsil and mygland in my neck is sligtly swollen. Doctor referred me to ent who told me itwwas just inflamation and will dissolve on its own and to gargle with salt and water. I am a non smoker but still concerned can anyone help me.

ENT Specialist 's  Response
you are suffering from chronic tonsilitis
neck gland enlargment is one sign of chronic infection
maintain oral hygeine with betadine mouth gargle after taking food
if you are worried then you should go through ultrasonography and fine needle aspiration cytology to confirm diagnosis
