What Could Stye-like Flesh Protruding From Tonsils While Suffering From Sinusitis And Tonsillitis Mean?

I have a fleshy stye-like stalk protruding from my right tonsil. I have chronic sinusitis and tonsoliths, but this is new. I managed to poke it and got out a small amount white substance followed by bleeding. What is this and is it dangerous? It does not not hurt, but is irritating. Please help.

General Surgeon,  's  Response
HI. This looks to be just a part of an enlarged infected tonsil. It all depends on whether it respond well to antibiotic treatment or not / your age ( more the age more is need for biopsy) / Is the sinusitis confirmed by a CT Scan? I would suggest you to go for a three week course of antibiotics, anti-inflammatory medicines , decongestant nasal drops, soft warm diet which is well chewed,. See the results in three weeks. By this time your ENT Specialist will be in a position to suggest you further management.
