What Causes Red Bump On Top Of Tonsils?
I was having difficulty breathing and saw I had tonsil stones yet again (I get these often) but this time there is a small, painless deep red bump on top of my tonsil. It is only on the right, not the left, same with the tonsil stones and swelling. I just want to make sure I shouldn t be concerned or if I should get it checked out. I am 17.

Hello
i really appreciate your concern
looking at history you might be having tonsillitis or a peritonsillar abscess
in my opinion you should visit an ENT surgeon for examination and tonsillectomy for definitive and permanent cure
do warm saline gargles
avoid cold drinks and ice creams ( anything cold)
Hope this adresses your question
good luck
