Possible tonsil cyst ?

[Rainbowflower2024]

Hi all! I went to the gp 3 months ago and they said it looked like I have a tonsil stone. Today I went back for gerd issues and they saw the ‘tonsil stone’ has grown a bit so I’m being referred to ent at the hospital. They think my reflux is aggravating it. I think it looks like a tonsil cyst to be honest. Just curious if anyone has experienced similar?

Just commenting hoping to boost this for someone to reply to me!

I think it’s a mucous retention cyst , it’s too smooth/round/perfect to be a tonsil stone in my humble opinion!

I get tonsillar stones but like the above poster, they aren't perfectly spherical and shiny like your thing. Is it soft or hard? I don't know what it is but I'd be half tempted to try popping it- not that you should do that though. Hopefully ENT can sort it for you.

@badbunnysadbunny @5289843DM thank you both for your reply! I agree with both of you, I don’t think it’s a tonsil stone.

I tried to pop it (don’t tell the gp) but I keep gagging everytime I try reach for it with a cotton bud🫣
