Thread: Tonsils

I have suffered from a mild case of tonsil stones for a few years now. Every few months I would have one or two come up when i coughed really hard or something. They are typically the same color as most tonsil stones- a yellowish white color. I've never had more than one come up at once, but on one occasion, I had more than one come up in a day. Typically it only happens once every few months.
Last night I felt like I had a hair in the back of my throat, and when I went to look in the mirror, it looked like I had a dark colored nodule on my tonsil. After messing with it and coughing and stuff, I did have an average tonsil stone come out, but thats it. When I looked again, the dark nodule was still there. I took pictures to get a better look, and it looks to me almost like a very large tonsil stone lodged in there, just dark in color. I will post the pictures below. is this a deeply lodged tonsil stone, an infection, or something else entirely?
On a side note, my throat is not sore and I don't think my tonsils are particularly enlarged. I have no fever or any other sign of illness. The only symptom I have is feeling like a hair or something is stuck in the back of my throat, so it is slightly irritating. Below are two pictures zoomed in close so you can get a good view of the mass. I can take a picture less zoomed in if that will help.
Thank you!

Hello,
I would advise you to go to ENT surgeon and get examined!

Hi all .nice to meet. hope you can see my forum.

Tonsils are the two lymph hubs situated on every side of the back of your throat. They work as a guard component. They keep your body from disease. At the point when the tonsils get to be contaminated, the condition is called tonsillitis.

Tonsillitis can happen at any age and is a typical youth disease. It is frequently analyzed in kids from preschool age through their midteens. Side effects incorporate a sore throat, swollen tonsils, and fever.

This condition is infectious and can be brought on by an assortment of regular infections and microscopic organisms, for example, streptococcal microbes, which causes strep throat. Tonsillitis brought about by strep throat can prompt genuine difficulties if left untreated.

Tonsillitis is effectively analyzed. Indications more often than not leave inside seven to 10 days.
