Lump in front of tonsil area. is it cancer or a benign cyst? currently ear hurts a little and have canker sore nearby too. throat a little sore.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lumps in throat: While it's likely a benign process like a tonsillar cyst or infection, this type of complaint deserves a close look by an experienced provider. The symptoms suggest infection, so a throat culture is also in order with an exam and followup to evaluate resolution of the lump.
