Tonsil polyp or lump
I saw with the torch and mirror there is a small polyp type lump near the right tonsil. Exactly it is below the right tonsil. A whitish string type is attached to bottom of right tonsil which extends and ends as a poylp or lump. It is along the arc I arrowed in the image, and the arc ends at lump mass. I have attached the image, though it is not visible in the photo i have marked the approximate location. Also sometimes i can feel it while swallowing. Please tell what to do. I am too much worried about some malignancy ( cancer of neck or tonsil). Plz help. Age 22
