Yellow lump in throat

Offline Srh2703 over 3 years ago

Hi,

im a little concerned to be honest. (I suffer with health anxiety) so any little symptom leads to me thinking the worst.

im 31 and had a yellow spot behind one of my tonsil for over a week now.

I haven't got a sore throat or anything. I've just recently quit smoking aswell. So I've been coughing up a bit of phlegm every now and then. And I'm just thinking the worse right now.

had my bloods done 2 months ago and everything was perfect.

think I'm just looking for a bit of reassurance to be honest.

thanks for reading.

Hi there,
I can understand any unexplained symptoms are concerning. In this instance perhaps you can keep an eye on it and if things haven't improved, you can always give your doctor a call to get some information or reassurance.
All the best,
Ben

This is likely to be a tonsil stone. I had mine removed and they were full of them, they're just little pockets of infection that can turn hard and Stay inside the tonsil. Visit your doctor to confirm x

Hi,

Thank you for the reply. My doctor said it's a little cyst and could stay forever or go away on its own.

It's just behind my tonsils.

She wasn't at all worried and said just pop back if it's causing any problems.

I shouldn't let my mind run away with the slightest thing. I'm working on it.

thanks again x
