I was having throat tickling and small phlegm after the chest infection. I noticed this lump. Which is there since more than a year. I had noticed it last year too. Beside the left side of epiglottis, when i push that area this pea sides fleshy lump comes up to the top. Is that something normal or just a lingual tonsil which has become big? When i pull out my tongue out it doesn't come up only when i put apply a bit pressure on that area it comes up. Attaching the location via a pic. Please note::: First pic is not mine, 2nd is mine where i tried to click a pic, but its difficult.
