I have a couple pimply node-like things on and around my tonsils that have been there for over a month. I deal with tonsil stones regularly: like 5+ per month. This is not a tonsil stone for sure, but I'm wondering if I caused an infection from poking around at the back of my throat to pop out the tonsil stones. The pimples are not painful or inflamed. They seem like they are just fluid filled pouches, really. I always feel like something is stuck at the back of my throat.
