What Could Be The Cause For The Lump In The Tonsil?
Please Help!
I have what I think is a tonsil cyst! It's a whitish color lump that is painless. It sort of reminds me of a blister. I'm not sure what's inside of it, but I don't know what to do about it. Im scared this could become a more serious problem, but I also don't want to exaggerate! The pictures on the Internet are no help and freak me out! I also know I have been having post nasal drip for about a week now and it left a weird taste in my mouth, but for the most part it is gone. I also had some type infection that was treated with antibiotics about a month ago. I also had a few tonsil stones lately and I am very aware of what they are. I know this is not a tonsil stone! How can I be sure that this is a cyst and is there any way I can get rid of it?

Hello and thank you for asking!
Of course to make an exact diagnosis is very important to see the tonsils.
Would you please attach a picture of the throat.
Will be a pleasure to help you further.
Kind regards,
Dr.Mirjeta
