Painful White Bump On The Adenoid. Pain While Swallowing. How To Get Rid Of It?

I have a single, white pimple-like bump on my right adenoid . It is NOT on the tonsil itself. It seemed to pop up over night. Around the white bump there is redness. I do not have a sore throat , a fever or any other symptoms of illness. The white bump is painful to the touch so it hurts every time I swallow as my tongue happens to brush up against it. What can this be and how do I get rid of it?
