Found this in my throat. What could it be?

Posted , 2 users are following.

so i have recently (last 6 months) have had some minor issues with tonsil stones nothing major and not to many. i thought i might have had another one because i felt something in my throat looked back and found this. i am on a leave of absence from my work until december and wont have insurance until then. could this be something serious or does it look more like a cyst? thank you! image

      is it my tonsil? it like is that larger mass attached to my tonsil by like a smaller cord mass if that makes sense. it also moves around very easily like i could pull on it if i wanted to to pull more of it out. thats why i was thinking a cyst but could it be a tumor? i have really deep tonsil cavities and its like coming out of the center of one of the cavities if that makes sense. i am kind of freaking out.

      i should add that i have no pain and my throat isnt sore or anything. just feels like something stuck back there.
