Bumps near tonsils
Hello sir / mam
I have bumps under my tonsils( in tonsillar fossa) . I have had this problem from around 4-5 years. They don't grow, they don't hurt, or there don't cause any discomfort. Also I have some white stuff on tonsils. I went to the ENT in December. He examined the tonsils and the area around and also did some pressing on my neck and back. He said that everything is normal. He asked me to gargle with saline water or hydrogen peroxide. But I am still concerned whether these bumps will settle down on their own or do I have to live with them for my whole life. Please help.
Bumps can be taste buds which cause no harm. If you are worried that it could turn something else please consult an ENT and ask for a biopsy to be taken, to clear any doubts!
If they are not causing any harm and are normal findings need not worry at all .
