What Is The Cause For A Bunch Of Tissue Behind The Tonsil?

Hello, I was removing tonsil stones this evening when I saw behind my tonsil I have a bunch of tissue behind the tonsil, I am kind of scared of what it could be, it is also a whitish color, and I am scared it may be cancer, but it also could just be swollen from something I don't know, Can you help me? Also my ears feel stopped up and the side I found it on hurts.

Whitish discharge from the tonsil most probably because of infected tonsil. Please visit the ENT doctor as soon as possible. It is unlikely to be cancer
