What Causes Painless, Hard, White Bump In The Tonsillar Area Post Tonsillectomy?

3 years ago I found out I had HPV, I have been clear for 2 years now and just last year I had my tonsils removed. I randomly get little clear/white bumps where my tonsils use to be. It s always just one, and it s there for a few days and goes away and eventually it always comes back and it s always on the same side. The bump doesn t hurt at all and I m not ill. The one I currently have is white, kinda hard and sorta looks like a pimple in the back of my throat... Any thoughts?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of painless, hard, white bump in the tonsillar area post tonsillectomy which could be due to infection in throat.

These lumps is not an abnormal finding but in case if the pain is excessive you should consult your treating surgeon so that he can do a clinical evaluation and check for any infections.

You should take proper antibiotic course to subside infection. You should take Tramadol and steroids to reduce inflammation and pain. Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined.

Maintain proper hygiene. avoid taking very hot and spicy food. Drink plenty of water and liquids. The bump can also represent healing area .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
