Suggest Remedy For Tonsils
i have a growth on my right tonsil about a quarter of an inch long, no pain, just irritating and the tip of it has a greyish black tip to it... i thought it was a piece of food stuck behind my tonsil until i saw it, its elongated and touches the bag of my tongue im unsure what it is any ideas?

it could be a tonsillar cyst . very few chances of cyst getting infection.
if it is much irritating or gets infected u may need its removal or tonsillectomy .
sometimes uvula may be mistaken by patients as coming from tonsil.
u need ENT doctor consultation
