Fade white patch on bilateral tonsils
Hi, I have the following :
1) Bumps in Pharyngeal wall since 4 months (pharyngitis)
2) Mild pain in one side of the throat and ear since 3 months.
3) Tonsil cyst on left tonsil since 4 months.
4) I had Pet ct scan for some different purpose that showed " Diffuse FDG uptake in bilateral tonsils (SUV max 3.6 right, 4.7 left), infective/inflammatory"
5) Today I planned on seeing my tonsils, I noticed this fade white patch on both tonsils. What is this?
What can possibly be the cause for all the above. Even if PET Ct said no malignancy I have doubts because of all the symptoms above.
Attaching pic, patch circled.
