Growth On Or Around Tonsil Area... Posted: 09-28-07 13:11pm
Hi, my girlfriend has noticed a small
growth around her tonsil area and has no
clue what it could be. She said it feels
like something is stuck in her throat or
something like that. Here is a picture I
took of her mouth, the growth is on the
left side of the picture, next to her
tonsil. We are trying to verify what this
could be. I will post 2 pictures, one with
the growth circled and one without the
growth circled, thanks for your help.

Growth on tonsil Posted: 07-17-08 07:54am
My 3 year old has the same type/looking
growth on his tonsils. Last March I
brought him to a Ear,Nose and throat
specialist. The specialist was not
concerned at all and said it was a slow
growing papual (a papaloma -much like a
wart) and that it was not bothering my
son. A few weeks ago my son's voice got
very horse sounding and upon inspection
the growth had doubled in size. He is
scheduled for surgery on August 8th to
have it removed and to probe further down
his throat for any other growths that may
be growing on his windpipe or esophagus
etc. The doctor actually went as far
giving me a guarentee that this growth
would not affect his breathing or
swallowing, my concern is that he does not
know what else is just down his throat.
So, with that said... I would see a doctor
and remember without probing they can not
say for sure what else is down your
throat. Good luck.
