White membrane on bilateral tonsils
Hi, On May I did Pet Ct scan for some different issue, there it showed FDG uptake on both tonsils but reason being infective/inflammatory. This white membrane thing appeared on tonsils 4 months back. Doctor thought might be some infection, did swab test, no bacterial infection and no positive and negative gram bacteria found. Had many course of antibiotics. Recently was positive for HSV. This thing is still not going. No pain nothing, just some burn now and then when i eat a bit spicy or oily food. Yea when i try to remove it from fingers it removes and then comes back again. Doctor is asking for tonsillectomy but I am not ready for that but it's been 4-5 months now. It's not Cancer, is it?

It's not Cancer. Never try to remove it. It will lead to further inflammation, pain and bleeding injuries. If your doctor has suggested you for surgery, kindly go for it.
