Hello,
Where is the exact location of growth?? Is it oropharynx or nasopharynx or at larynx.
Possibility of adenoids elargement or tonsilitis or malignancy or polyps etc. Until biopsy is taken it is difficult to say what is the pathology of the growth.
Please consult with your ENT specialist he may do biopsy and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
