<s>[INST] Hi, my right tonsil started hurting yesterday. A day after i went to my dentist for a cleaning. I noticed today there is bumps on my right tonsil and back of my tongue. They are flesh colored and sore. One bump looks like its got a canker sore on it. I am very worried [/INST] HiThanks for writing in.I would like to tell you that scaling doesn't cause tonsils.If you are having such problem visit ENT specialist.Do warm saline rinses.RegardsDr. Neha Sumra </s>
