Should tonsil cysts in the throat need surgery?

Question
Hello doctor,
I just discovered in my throat right tonsils there is an opaque white cyst with smooth surface as big as a convex marble, causing difficulty swallowing and feeling very tired. I went to the doctor and said that I suspected a tonsil cyst and gave me medication to monitor if it didn't help, then surgery. I took medicine and it didn't help at all. So the doctor asked me if the tonsil cyst in my throat should be operated on? Thank you doctor.

With the question “Should tonsil cysts in the throat be operated on? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
As described, you have a benign cyst or a benign tonsil tumor on one side causing difficulty swallowing. In this case, taking medicine does not work, you should see an ENT specialist for ENT doctors for pathological advice, biopsy or surgery to remove U as GPB.
