What Causes A Pus Filled Lump On The Tonsil?
I am recovering from a recent cold. My tonsils were swollen then and have gone done now. My throat was only sore night when I sleep. But I realized while I was sick and now I have one lump on my tonsil that sticks out about a 1/4in. And I touched it today and it started to bleed and I was able to squeeze out white pus...do I need to worry?

Hi,
I have gone through your query; it suggests that you may be suffering from the chronic tonsillitis. In this condition you may take proper antibiotic course after throat swab culture and antibiotic course. If this condition persist after this treatment then go for tonsillectomy surgery.
