Yesterday night I was squeezing my tonsils trying to get tonsil stones out. My nails are long so I think I scratched the back of my throat. As soon as I get into bed I start feeling this lump behind my tonsil when I swallow. It’s not every time I swallow but a lot of the times yes. What could this be? I woke up with a sore tonsils but as the day progressed they’ve hurt less but I can still feel that annoying lump. I’ve tried coughing it out or reaching or a tonsil stone but nothing comes out.
