Small growth in front of left tonsil area (tonsils removed) no pain, no change in size over months. pus comes out when prodded. should i be worried?

Exam needed: Pus indicates an infection, but there usually is pain associated with an abcess in that area. It is advisable to have a throat exam by your physician or an otolaryngologist for diagnosis and treatment.
