Suggest Treatment For Cut On Tonsil
I have a cut on my left tonsil that is causing pain. The cut is white and looks the same as a cut you d get on the gum when the skin looks like its healing this has been like this since Thursday night/early Friday morning when I noticed it. I had a look a few days ago to see what it was and there is no blood or discharge coming from it....what could it be?

Hi..welcome to HCM
This cut you are noticing is not abnormality or any injury ..its normal structure of tonsil we call it as crypts...there are many in each tonsil... The bigger one among those is crypta magna means bigger one...it need not be visible on the other tonsil also... Don't worry just ignore ...take tab paracetamol for pain relief and do garggling with local anesthetic grggle thrice a day ...you feel much better...
