I’ve woken up with a tubular growth on my tonsil

Just sticking out of my tonsil, swallowing feels like something stuck in my throat. It’s not a tonsil tone (had plenty of those.) it’s fleshy and tubular, about the size of 1.5 peas.

Obviously I’m going to the doctor first thing but wondered if any of you have had this before and what it was?

I have a history of tonsil problems - recurrent tonsillitis, tonsil stones - they’ve never been taken out.

Lymphangiomatous polyps Benign. Google image them.

Thank you! Do they need to be removed surgically?

Usually I think they do yes.
