“Spot in throat”
I’ve had this spot in my throat for over 2 years, yellowish. Can it be a embedded tonsil stone? It is yellowish in appearance. It does not hurt.
I do have Hashimotos.

It may be a tonsil if it is embedded in your tonsil. It may also be a cyst. Both conditions are not dangerous and can be treated but should be diagnosed.
It's hard to say without seeing it in person. Tonsil stones can be yellow tinged in color.
Most likely it is a "tonsil stone" which is nothing more than a cyst.. If it becomes bothersome it can be easily extracted.
