Fade white patch on bilateral tonsils

2020-09-06 15:02:52
Hi, I have the following : 1) Bumps in Pharyngeal wall since 4 months (pharyngitis) 2) Mild pain in one side of the throat and ear since 3 months. 3) Tonsil cyst on left tonsil since 4 months. 4) I had Pet ct scan for some different purpose that showed " Diffuse FDG uptake in bilateral tonsils (SUV max 3.6 right, 4.7 left), infective/inflammatory" 5) Today I planned on seeing my tonsils, I noticed this fade white patch on both tonsils. What is this? What can possibly be the cause for all the above. Even if PET Ct said no malignancy I have doubts because of all the symptoms above. Attaching pic, patch circled.
