my child has a bump in her mouth....?

Question

I noticed my child has a white bump on the right side of her mouth, back below her tonsils. AT first it look like a tooth, but would a tooth be back that far, almost in her throat. It looks like maybe a pimp.. Its sticking out of her sick back there. It like the body is pushing it out. Its the size of a pencil eraser. What you do think? Anyone out there seen anything on the net about this? Please giude me to the site if you seen anything like this. If you have seen this before please let me know what it was or what was down about it.

Please and thank you!!

There is really no way to know without seeing it so I would recommend that you take her to your pediatrician. One thing it might be is a tonsillolith, or tonsil stone. These are harmless. Sometimes the are accompanied by a sore throat or ear pain. As I mentioned though, I would suggest a doctor visit. I am only mentioning one thing it might be but that doesn't make it a fact. Only a doctor can tell you what it really is...after examining your daughter.
