What Is The Small Pimple On The Back Of My Soft Tissue Next To My Uvula?
Hi. I have small pimple on the back of my soft tissue next to my uvula. It swells up after eating and then shrinks down over the course of 4-5 days. I have no ear pains, sore throat or any swollen nodes. This has been going on for the past 5 months. I went to an ENT Physician. He examined me, saw no signs of cancer and advised it was a tonsil tag and it will most likely not go away. Looking for a second opinion as it just came back again. Thoughts?

High , it can be tonsil tag or it can be apthous erosions or ulcers occuring because of stress or vitamin deficiency. Hoth condition need not worry. Take some multivitamins for a month and see. Avoid stress , I will when its asymptomatic then, not to worry.
