Lump behind tonsil

2018-02-08 11:00:53
Have an oval white lump behind my tonsil. It's not causing any symptoms, I only noticed it last month when I had issues with my wisdom teeth. It's on the left side of my mouth. I drink in moderation a few glasses of wine at the weekend and I don't smoke. I'm 34 female. Fit and healthy. Although I do suffer from Heath anxiety.

It is most probably a Tonsillolith, which is actually food like rice or sooji trapped in the tonsillar crypt and subsequently covered by a foul-smelling layer of salivary calcium!
