Everyone, call a EAR, Nose and Throat doctor. Find out whether they treat "Tonsil Stones" or not.
If they say, Yes, make an appt. Don't waste time on a Primary Doctor. They just poo poo your symptoms and you walk out none the better! It's worth calling and asking before you make an appt.

I have suffered for about four years with these pesky little balls of stink . Always self concious of my breath smelling :( and always have a sore throat.
Ive done some reasearch on treatments for it and the first one im trying is a water jet/pic .
OH MY GOD ..... It is amazing . I bought a Oral Fresh projet for £39.00 .Directed the nozzle at the hole in tonsil on soft mode. Out came FIVE of the little white bits . I did it again and got three . My throat feels toatally clear instantly and best of all I finally have sweet breath !!!!! Woo wooo .
I had been looking at laser surgery but thought id try out the less dramtic option first. So pleased i did .
I cant recomend a water jet/pic enough . I not sure how often.i should do it though ?
AAHHHH im so happy ....im off to breath in peoples faces :):):)

I have my tonsils out and I'm coughing up yellow chunks. I'm sick and that why I'm worried about it what do I do?

I have found using a biro pen works best, take off the end and remove the inky writing bit then
just push the pen over the white stone and they just pop out, works.just like a blackhead remover.
just wish i didn't get them.

Q-tips are the same as "cotton swabs". Folks in other parts of the world (outside USA) won't know it by the name "q-tip" as that is a brand name that they are sold under here in the USA.

OMG! im shocked im not alone. I thought this was some weird issue I was having. I was too embarrassed to ask others or even my doctor. I brush, gargle, etc...and thought others would think I had poor dental hygiene but I dont. Im sooooooo glad I finally have an answer to what has been going on for years and that I am not the only one with the embarrassing smelly white throat chunks. I am going to get a water pik and try the salt water gargle. Thank you all!

Question: what is the best method to rinse/clean or "de-chunking" if you will? Sometimes it can become very annoying scratching the back of your throat or tongue.

Taking your tonsils out does not help. I had mine out at 4 and have had them all my life.

I was a little scared when this thing started happening to me. But I'm feeling a little bit better knowing that its not that serious and I can get help. Going to try and get the water pic and see if it helps.
