Something is lodged in my tonsil
A piece of food (maybe?) is stuck in the back of my throat in what I assume is my tonsil. It hurts a tiny bit but mostly is bothersome. I'm hoping to get rid of this before it could be infected on anything like that. It is small about the size of pencil lead, and is definitely poked into my tonsil, not too deep.

Kindly go have a check with either a dentist or a ENT to ensure that it's a foreign object, if it is so then u should go for removal of it before it gets infected
