I'm afraid: that the only "cure" would be a tonsillectomy...HOWEVER swallowing this material is NOT "dangerous" Hope this is helpful! Dr Z

Tired, mild body aches and a mild sore throat. Oval, pea-sized red lump in my right tonsil. Slightly bloody and has some white. Slightly painful when touched. I do get tonsil stones regularly. Should I have it checked now or watch it for a few days?
