Is It Normal To Have A Flesh Hanging Inside The Throat?
Hi doctor. While i was observing my tonsils I found out that deep inside my throat I may have a piece of flesh hanging. i might be wrong and it may have always been there but i am not sure. I cant see it fully as my tongue comes in the way and i can only see the top of it visible on the left side of my mouth and not on the right. Is this normal?
