A member asked:
I have these fleshy bumps in the back of my throat, and also a bump with a white head behind my tonsils what is it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Difficult to know: Without seeing these and being able to perform a full exam it is nearly impossible to tell what they are with any accuracy. If it is behind your tonsil the potential for a retrotonsillar abscess with major complications exists, and strongly recommend that you see a doctor asap.
