Suggest Treatment For The Cyst In The Tonsil

Hello, My absolute monocyte count was 166. All other results were in range, including monocyte percentage. Should I be concerned? I feel fine. The only issue I ve had is a cyst on my left tonsil, which two different Doctors have told me not to worry about. I have had this cyst for two months. It has caused no symptoms.

ENT Specialist 's  Response
A tonsil cyst is completely harmless and is not at all related to the monocyte count; you would have to get it removed (undergo a tonsillectomy) only if it causes pain or difficulty in swallowing.
