throat chunks

Guest · Guest

thanks to this web site I finally realized what the little white chunks were that I was having coming out of my throat. I am 32 years old and have had the problem on and off for years. I have went to my family doctor a couple of times and had a couple of test done that everything was normal.I have another appointment tomorrow and I will tell her what I found on this wed site called Tonsil Liths / Tonsil stones. I was starting to really worry that I was the only one with some weird problem of white smelly stones coming up.

Water Pic, either that brand or the Interplak water pick. As the comment above says, just blast the back of your throat with the water jet. I use a mirror and a flashlight and put the jet on a low setting. I don't know if it's just me, but I put the nozzle in the flaps of my tonsils and find there's stones in the folds as well.

I do this about once a month, but probably should do it more.

i am so happy that i am not the only person in the world with this odd issue!! i have had these annoying little chunks forever. I believe they started to be consistant after i was sick this winter. It is litterally the grossest thing to cough or sneeze and feel a chunk fly from the depths of your throat and what is even worse is taking it out, sqishing it and wondering where that awful smell is coming from...once i realized it was int he back of my throat i was sort of horified. to think that something that was coming out of my mouth smelled that nasty! i am totally paranoid about my breath smelling and stuff now....
its awful...

I have found that using a tweezer is helpful with my weekly de-chunking....but beware if you pull and poke to much you will bleed!! Crying or Very sad

I AM GLAD I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE!!!

I have those white chunks too I thought it was from eating garlic or not brushing good enough I tried to pick them out with q tips and salt water they smell EXTREMELY bad and make your breath smell they scratch your tounge and ache my tonsils. I have holes in my tonsils and when I lightly push a huge white chunk comes out, my tonsils are constantly sore! I guess its this tonsithillis or something like that?

Like everyone else, glad there are more people with these things. I have had them for the past 10 years, ever since I had a bad case of mononucleosis in high school. I just wash my hands and "press" them out. It's kind of fun getting the big ones... Smile

The smell, my gosh, I have to brush and use mouth wash some 20 times after a "cleaning". Disgusting... I do notice I get them more when I am feeling ill.
