Hi,
I was hoping someone could tell me what they think I might have. I get tonsil stones so I know what they look like but I have had this spot on my left tonsil for almost a year since I first noticed it. At first I thought it was a stone and tried to irrigate it but it stayed there. It looks like a stone and it is the only spot on either of my tonsils. I tried to push it but it is a tiny lump and smaller than a pea. I have seen two dentists and my doc for a sore throat and no one has ever voiced concern about this white/yellowish spot on my tonsil.

I have an ENT appt in 10 days however am scared that it could be serious. I am 30 yr old non smoker and pregnant so I do not think I can have my tonsils removed anytime soon.

Anyone ever have a stone that did not come out or maybe had a flap of skin grow over so it would not come out? Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
