Hi. I'm new to the forum, and I was wondering if anyone could help me with my problem.

Before I state my problem, let me just say that I've already looked all over the internet and I'm still not finding the right answers. I found this forum and it looks very helpful, so I'm hoping you guys can help me

Recently I've been getting this white bump on my left tonsil. I started getting it about 5 months ago.

I thought I might have an STD, as I always seemed to get the bump after giving my fiancé oral. But it didn't make sense, concidering I have been giving him oral way before 5 months ago, so why would it just now start happening? Not to mention he only had sex with one woman before me, and she was a virgin. He took my virginity, btw.

So I googled my problem, and came across a lot of forums. They all said pretty much the same thing, it's probally just food. But I tried gargling salt water, I've tried scraping it off. It won't come off and it hurts when I touch it, so I'm pretty darn sure it's not food.

It's gotten worse now. Everytime the bump comes back, it's bigger. At first it was just a little white dot, about the size of the tip of a pencil, now it's atleast 4x the size of that.

At first when I got it, it didn't hurt, it just felt uncomfortable to eat. Now it seems my throat hurts a bit.

So, what could it be? It can't be food. It goes away after 3-4 days, then a week later it comes back, besides, why would it just now be happening? I haven't changed the way I've eaten or anything, and I brush twice a day and gargle mouth wash.

Thanks!
