Ear, Nose and Throat Doctor (ENT) Questions Pneumonia

Mass in throat

I am just on day three of antibiotics. I am recovering from pneumonia. I noticed this mass or whatever it is on the left side of my mouth inside at the back. I did visit my gp and she said it’s typical to get this when sick. I still see it. I’m really worried. Is it because of the virus? Please help.

That's your tonsil. It's going to get swollen and red and sore when you are sick. It's normal.
