Im currently taking antibiotics for a sore thoat. I have a small lump by my tonsils...I think its a tonsils cysts.
I concerned even though my dentist said he will look at it with after my treatment and if need by send me to an oral surgent.

Hi, Your description seems like you have inclusion cyst over the lip and these are because of blockade of drainage duct of minor salivary glands which are normally present in the lips. Small/trivial trauma of the mucosa leads to this. Many a times these resolve on the own but if not need to be excised. Please wait for your doctors consent for seeing an oral surgeon and if need be oral surgeon will excise that. Regards
