For 5 days I had a terrible sore throat on my left side only. My ear, neck, jaw, and tonsil hurt so bad when I swallowed. Its gone now but yesterday I just started gagging out of no where. It felt like I was swallowing my tonsil. I went and looked in the mirror with a flashlight and there is a fleshy growth the size of a ladybug growing off the side of my tonsil. I can move it around, and there is really no feeling there. It is very irritating though every time I swallow I gag. Has anyone ever had anything like this??? I have an ENT appt. in a week but I am very worried about it I dont know if I can wait that long.
