A member asked:
Can a tonsil be deep and feel like a lump in throat ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Define tonsil ?: The general lay term for tonsils is the 2 palatine tonsils located on either side at the back of the throat. It is lymphatic tissue in a cluster. There is also lymphatic tissue in small clusters scattered from the swallow mechanism of the gut to the anus. A lump in your throat is more likely something unrelated to these but to acid reflux /irritation of the swallow tube.
