could this be oral hpv?

[smoothcriminal]

i have had this white bump on one of my tonsils for almost three weeks. it is about the size of the number 0 on a computer keyboard if that helps. it it doesnt hurt or anything like that. i pressed on it with a q-tip and a small amount of blood came out. i first noticed it the day after i threw up (drinking) so i assumed that it was just some type of irritation. now im begining to wonder...my ex-girlfriend had hpv and this last time i had oral sex with her was about a year ago. could this be a wart caused by hpv? and if so can i infect someone else my giving them oral sex?

Hi there, I've experienced this for 3 years now and they come and go many times through the year. I get them quite a lot, they are nicknamed tonsil stones and I find I get them more when Im stressed.
They are harmless but quite annoying and can leave a horrible taste in the back of your throat. They can be quite difficult to remove yourself if you have a sensitive gag reflex, but if youre like me then you'l have no trouble.
They are easy to remove with cotton wool buds, just shine a torch down your throat and apply pressure where you can see them and they just pop out. There are many holes in tonsils so can be tricky at times. Just make sure you brush your teeth really well and more importantly the back of your tongue. Because these "tonsil stones" are built up of bacteria. Hope I've helped.

Oral warts are rare, but if you are concerned see a doctor for a diagnosis.

The bump could be anything, such as normal skin or Tonsilloliths.
