White bump on one of my tonsils?

Question

I recently discovered a small, white, cold-sore looking bump on one of my tonsils. A few days ago I orange juice and vodka and threw up twice afterward. I was wondering if this could be the cause of the bump. If not, what could be the causes? What are the treatments? Is this a long-term illness or can it be easily treated?

I read a lot of articles/forums of people with a similar problem and the majority spoke a lot on tonsiliths and tonsil stones. I'm hoping for a more in-depth response. Thankyou!

Answer 1

The question is: does it hurt or not?

If it hurts, this could be related to any type of throat or tonsil infection.

If it doesn't hurt, it could easily be a tonsil stone. Just a formation of skin cells as well as bacteria that was present in your mouth as well as food debris. I wouldn't be concerned. If you want to remove it, take a q-tip and gently (and I do mean gently) brush on the bump to see if it comes off (which it should).

If the bump is harder, you might want to make a dr. appt to see what is going on.
