Hey,
I have a tiny white bump over my tonsils. About... oh, 5 millimeters wide. It's been there for a while... at least a few months.
Do you guys have any idea what this could be?

Iris,
This might be a "tonsil stone." You can google it, but it's basically a collection of mucus and "gunk" that gets caught in a crevice of your tonsil. ITotally harmless. I had a recurring one for awhile. First went to my doctor thinking it was an infected tonsil, and she immediately identified it as a tonsil stone. If you take a cotton swab and press gently just off to the side of it (admittedly this takes a bit of practice), it can pop right out. Or your doctor can do this for you.
