I've noticed a lump in front of my left tragus, and it's painless even when I touch or press it. It also seems to be mobile. I'm not sure if I should be concerned or if there's any specific way I should manage it. Could it be something serious or is it likely harmless?

This lump could be a benign condition such as a sebaceous cyst or a lipoma. It is important to monitor the lump for any changes in size, shape, or symptoms. If the lump causes any discomfort or grows in size, it is recommended to consult a doctor for further evaluation. In case of infection or inflammation, antibiotics may be prescribed. If necessary, the lump can be surgically removed.

I'm really concerned because I've had tonsillitis for three weeks now and it just won't go away. I've been on antibiotics for ten days but haven't seen any improvement. Could this be a bacterial or viral infection? Also, I can't help but worry if this could be a sign of early HIV ARS. I don't have any other symptoms, just swollen tonsils with white spots. What could be going on?

no need to worry it's not related HIV, visit ENT doctor for evaluation and appropriate treatment.
