I've always had swallon tonsils and I have a constant sore throat. For the past couple of years I get a cough every two which I found weird but now I realised since it started green hard balls are coming out of my tonsils. Can anyone surgery what it could be?
Ive had the same problem except mine are white. And I havnt had one in a year or so. But I used to cough em up all the time. They are about, O , that big or so and they smell like c**p.
These smelly things are called tonsil stones. ***edited by moderator*** web addresses not allowed
Tonsil stones, also known as tonsilloliths, are caused by an accumulation of sulfur-producing bacteria and debris that become lodged in the tonsils. The debris, which can include mucus from post nasal drip, putrifies in the back of your throat and collects in the tonsil crypts (small pockets which appear on the surface of the tonsils).
Along with tonsil stones, when the debris combine with the volatile sulfur compounds produced by the anaerobic bacteria beneath the surface of your tongue, it can also create chronic Halitosis (and other bad breath and taste disorders).

I had them aswell. i used to use toothpicks to pick them out. they smalt quite bad. i got so sick of it that i went to the doctor and we decided that my tonsils should have my tonsils removed. had them out and no more lumps since11
This is what is happening to me but it only happens to me twice a month and it effects my eating and drinkin;-|
Thanks for the info above. After knowing what this thing is, I feel like a big mistery has been solved. Can't believe there are nooks and crannies in my body that I never even knew about. Anyway, I tried using the water pick floss that shoots stream of water and has multiple settings. I set it to the lowest setting and pointed it at the tonsil stone, then slowly cranked up the strength. The stone was easily dislodged without it being too uncomfortable.
