can you please explain a bit? ihave dentist on wednesday anyway but is it something that is harmless?

Answered by Dr. Honey Arora (24 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
Yes it can be harmless.

Detailed Answer:
Hi..
Lymphoid tissue aggregate are collection of immune type cells..

They are normally present in throat and even other areas of body and can aggregate and form lumps in cases of chronic or recurring throat infection, throat irritation like acid reflux etc..

However they are harmless and need not to be worried for..

So my advice is to better consult an ENT Physician and get evaluated..

Hope this helps..
