I have a white spot on my tonsil and found out i have a 9mm nodule on my thyroid on the same side. could they be related?

Specializes in ENT - Head & Neck Surgery

Tonsil spot: If there is no soreness in your throat, the spot is most likely a tonsil stone or a small mucocele, both benign issues. It would not be related at all to a thyroid nodule.
