Answers:
These things are called tonsilloliths ("tonsil stones!.") You have described them perfectly!. They are typically white, or whitish-yellow, irregularly-shaped, foul-smelling, and usually smaller than a pea!. The tissue lining the tonsils (oral mucosa) is fairly sensitive, so people with this problem often report that they feel an irritation in the back of their throat and are able to pick these critters out of their tonsils!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
ok its fine, i get them all the time too!.!.!.they are called tonsil stones and it is were the grooves in your tonsils get inflammed and collect particals of food,debris, and such that you swallow!. it is foreign to your body so it sends white blood cells to attack it(thats why it is white)!. it does hurt and give you bad breath but it will go away!.!.!.i like to gargle with warm salt water and then try to loosen it off the tonsil with my clean finger in hopes to get rid of it!.!.!.hope this helpeD!Www@Answer-Health@Com
