I just got baci from the er. found out i have a skin tag in the back of my throat, next to my tonsil. is that normal? its starting to hurt

Skin tag: Skin tags occur only on skin. This could be a mucus retention cyst or a tag of hypertrophied lymphoid tissue. I would want an Otolaryngologist to determine the nature of this tag like structure.
