Hello all, first time posting here. I have had a small white lump on my lingual tonsil (back of tongue on the side) that has been there for almost a year. The bump itself has been painless. It sort of resembles a whitehead that you would get on your face. Other symptoms have been a constantly sore jaw all the way up to my ear. Slight swelling underneath the tongue as well (although not visible, just the sensation). I have been to a doctor that blew it off as "oh, it probably a cist." I wont have insurance for another 3 weeks so I cant see a dentist until then



I've been terrified for months now, any insight would be greatly appreciated.
