What Could The Banana Like Growth On The Right Side Of Throat Be?
I have a growth on the right side of my throat. The best way to explain it is it looks like a second uvula growing but much bigger. It has the shape of a banana projecting downward into my throat. This does not cause me pain or give me problems but I do notice it is getting bigger???

Hello
it looks like you may be having a fibro-epithelial polyp growing on your tonsil, although this can only be confirmed by biopsy!
dont worry, if you are not having pain and it is not increasing in size, you can ignore it!!
if it increases in size, meet your ent doctor.
thanks
