A member asked:
I have a white bumpy thing near the tonsil for few weeks.it is painless,no fever,ear feels little itchy.what is it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Most of the causes: of a "white bumpy thing near the tonsil" would be painful: bacteria/strep or viral sore throat; tonsil stones; thrush or candidiasis caused by yeast; oral herpes; mononucleosis. Leukoplakia is white patches often associated with smoking or chewing tobacco. My first thought would be a stone: calcium deposit which has formed in a small crevice of a tonsil caused by bacteria, unswallowed food.See Doc
