Ball Like Tissue Present Behind Throat, Red Stringy Tissue Attached To It. Cause Of Concern?
Hi! I have felt this ball like tissue on occasion in the back of my throat and looked at my throat the last time I felt this and discovered a red string like tissue with a ball on the end in the back of my throat. The ball part was touching my tongue . Just wondering what this could be and if it s serious? Thanks so much!

thanks for your question...
this could be a tonsillar mass, better to consult to ENT surgeon and take a biopsy of it, i dont think any serious things in it, thank you.
