I was diagnosed with a cyst on a piece of my tonsil . It is so irritating and I can hardly hold a conversation or sleep without coughing due to the irritation I am having from the tickling of my throat where the cyst is. It cause me bad breath no matter how much I brush my teeth or my tongue or gargle with mouth wash. Should I be worried that this cyst could become something more serious if it isn't taken out with my tonsil too. I am 65 years old but that shouldn't matter because I have feelings to and I am selfconscious all the time. Please help me.
