What Causes Swollen Lymph Node In Neck?
Question: I seem to have some swelling behind/on my palatopharyngeal arch on the right side of my throat. Can you give me some input?
Brief Answer:
It is a part of pharyngeal lymphoid ring.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for the query.
I have read your query, seen your picture and understand your concern.
In my opinion, this is a lymphoid tissue in right lateral pharyngeal wall. It is a part of pharyngeal lymphoid ring or Waldeyer's lymphatic ring .
It is commonly seen in many individuals, nothing to worry.
Also your left tonsil show white spot due infection inside it.
If I were your treating doctor, I would advice
Antiseptic chlorhexidine Mouth Wash twice daily .
This swelling & infection inside tonsil will subside .
Hope this information helpful to you.If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
Regards.
