Tonsil tissue

[Vandelsrock21]

Anyone ever notice behind the tonsils look like tonsil tissue still or something. I went to the doctor before and i think she said is lymphatic tissue. But i noticed it more prominent today maybe? Any else have this or just me?

Not abnormal. Yes, the tonsils are part of the lymphatic system. As such, they're very sensitive to everything, and that leads to minor swelling and other similar reactions.

Interesting i thought i would be the only one on here that noticed extra tissue back there. Besides the tonsils they look fine its behind the tonsils on my arch that looks funky. Good to know though since medical care is phone only right now.

I recommend trying to refrain from physically examining yourself, outside of the things you obviously know. If you have some highly unusual lump, bump, bruising, bleeding, etc, you can examine that. But anything else, don't do it, unless you really know what you're looking for.
