Lump in my mouth
Posted , 1 user is following.
I've have a lump in my mouth now for about a year and I'm really worried about it. It hasn't changed shapes or grown but I just can't stop worrying. I have anxiety anyway so this doesn't help the matter. It's where my tonsils used to be but just won't go. Been to the doctors and they keep giving me different answers and the same with the dentists. What could it be??

May I ask what some of the answers you received were? Did they do blood work?

No they just said it looks like scar tissue from having my tonsils out, it's a red lump that's about 5mm. Theres lots on them in my corner of my mouth and one on my tongue, I feel like because of my age they won't do anything about it. I've been to the doctors about 5 times now.

When were your tonsils removed? When did the larger lump appear, immediatly after?
Also, you said you are being told different things, what are the other theories they doctors are telling you?

I notices it about a year ago, it was 6 years ago. And I was really rough. They're all in the same area just different sizes, just saying that it was swollen glands or abscesses from my doctor. my dentist said it was scare tissue.

It may be abscesses or cellulitis but why in the world was your doctor not more concerned about it because those are dangerous!!
Personally, I recommend going to your local hospital and asking them to x ray and do blood work because if it turns out to be that you have multiple abscesses then you will need immediate treatment.
