What Does Reddish Pink Lump Near Left Tonsil Indicate?
Hi, I have a pea size reddish/pink lump on the front of my left tonsil. It is clearly visible, but does not protrude out any further than 1mm from my tonsil. I’m an 18 year old male, non smoker, non drinker, no other symptoms. The bump has been present for over a month and has not grown or shrunk. It causes me no problems in my daily life

Hello,
It can be follicle near tonsil. Do warm saline gargles and it will go away by itself. No definite treatment is required. If lesion persists better to consult an ENT specialist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
