Lump in throat behind left tonsil
Both of my tonsils have been surgically removed more than 8 years ago. Recently I observed a lump slightly behind the spot of my left removed tonsil. It does not cause any pain and the colour of it is also similar to that of normal throat colour. There's no problem in swallowing food but when I simply dry swallow or saliva, I feel phlegm stuck in throat. It's presence in my throat makes me concious, nothing else. It is there from past two to three months. Please tell me what it could be. I'm afraid if that could be throat cancer. Picture attached.

Alternatively, meet with an ENT specialist and do an endoscopy to diagnose the issue. Do not ignore .
