I also have a small growth near my left tonsil. It seems to gradually be getting bigger. Should I see a doctor? If it keeps growing what will they do? Is it harmful?
Heya, I went to the doctor about 3 weeks ago for a small growth near my left tonsil as well and told it was a polyp. I was told they will generally not remove it unless paid for it privately (mind you this is coming from the UK). if it grows big enough to obstruct your eating or breathing they'll probably remove it though.
While you have a growth, an ENT should be able to quickly tell what it is.
and i've been assured its nothing
if it grows and shrinks, that does not seem bad, but seek imediate help if it grows and doesn't stop
