I've got this white, pearly, bumpy papule-like growth on my right tonsil. It doesn't hurt, but I can really feel it when I'm swallowing, like there's something stuck in my throat. I've also noticed a slight ache in my right ear. What could this be?

While surgery is generally considered safe, it's crucial to weigh the potential benefits and risks in your child's specific case.
