Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query.
As far as the growth below the tonsil can be a peritonsillar abscess or tonsillar hyperplasia. Nothing to be panic, you can consult an ENT surgeon and get it evaluated. mean while you can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin and metronidazole(if you are not allergic). Do saline gargling.
I hope I have answered your query. Take care
