Ok here goes, i have been having a coming and going feeling of something stuck next to my tongue, (see attached picture) it is right around this area and i cannot for the life of me find anything online pertaining to this spot. But, anyways, i found this spot to be where my discomfort is coming from after much poking and prodding. Im sort of a hypochondriac when it comes to this stuff. But i finally noticed a small sort of white but more yellowish spot. I scraped it with my fingernail a few times and then it bled a little. But the next day it seemed to be slightly bigger, (im guessing because i messed with it). My lymph nodes dont seem to be any different as far as i can notice. All of this is on the left side by the way. I was looking up peritonsillar abcesses and such but i havent a clue if thats what it could be or not. I will be trying to get an appt with my ENT sometime this week to have it looked at.
I havent noticed any more tiredness, no weightloss at all, slight trouble swallowing because i have been poking it and prodding that area.
Any ideas on what it could be? im hoping just some sort of infection but i guess i wont know for sure till its looked at.
Any advice or anything would be greatly appreciated! Im male 23 and have a history of smoking and dipping. But since this has happened ive not used anything since.
