What Can Cause A Cyst In The Tonsil?

I have a cyst next to my right tonsil when I went to the ENT I also found out both my ears were infected, I have a sinus infection and my tonsil were swollen is this all a side effect of the cyst which I have had for about 2 month and just went to the ENT 3 days ago. What caused this cyst?

There can be many reasons for the cyst, including an infection of the tonsils or blockage of the ducts by some food particles.
the swelling in your tonsils can be due to the cyst , but the sinus infection is unlikely to be due to the cyst.
