Throat/ Mouth Cancer?
Hello, I am 22. I need an advice because my anxiety is killing me. Last December 5, I noticed a lump on the left side of my throat. I did not think of it since I had a tooth extraction on November 28 and suffered from dry socket. The lump was beneath the extraction site. But since it does not go away, I went to clinic for follow up check up and advised me to take amoxicillin 3 times a day, every 8 hrs for 1 week. After 4 days I noticed the lump shrinking in size but I hasn't fully shrinked yet. I can still feel the lump still big as pea size but smaller than it was before. December 11 when I started taking amoxicillin when I felt my throat constantly being scratchy. There is a mild pain and the feeling that something was stuck inside. So I decided to look at the mirror and noticed that the right side of my throat is quite inflamed because of its color. It is also bumpy and I saw these two fleshy bumps  behind my tonsil. I may be too young but google is telling me I have "C". Please hel

That is the normal tissue called tonsil. When infection occurs will become big or otherwise will stay small to be noticed

Firstly you need to get rid of this cancer phobia. Its a normal tonsil tissue and still having any doubt get it double checked with ENT specialist nearby.
