Suggest Treatment For Pharyngeal Cyst On Left Tonsil

Hi I have just found out via CT Scan results that I have a 6 mm pharyngeal cyst on my left tonsil (adenoid) what is the treatment for this? I am 36, 5 2 and have lost 55 pounds in 11 months, could this be causing my weight loss because I am unable to eat solid foods and have been on a liquid diet?
