Potential tonsil cyst

just looking to see if anyone else has experience the same issue, I suffer a lot with tonsillitis and also tonsil stones when checking my mouth the other day I come across this large what looks like a cyst under the skin on my tonsil full of puss.
Never experienced any tonsil cysts before

I have had antibiotics which haven’t cleared it, and I have now been referred to ENT which my appointment is on the 12th January a two week referral to get it seen to or else I would be waiting for at least 18 months.

My anxiety is really high at the moment, and I was just wondering if anyone could give me any advice?
I have no pain whatsoever it’s not causing me any issues with eating or swallowing.

Thank you 😀

@Sillsley @SuperAwesomeMe hi all! Sorry I know this is an old post but reading the above has really calmed my nerves. Basically I have what looks like a cyst on my tonsil. At first gp said tonsil stone but it won’t come out so I’ve been referred urgently to the ent and I’m so scared of it being more sinister 🥲

what did they do at the ent appointment? I’m so glad you’re okay now!
