These white globular substance are appear to be some form of biofilm, and seems like bacteria has found a perfect niche to grow and there is tremendous amount of growth of bacteria is these colony. Not one type but many.

I used a chopstick to dig this white growth in the back of my husband's throat out. He said it wasn't painful and now feels like he can sleep better. Chopstick worked well.

Thank you so much for the q-tip/hydrogren peroxide suggestion! I am a post-surgery cancer patient and the cancer was in my neck. When I googled this crazy little thing in the back of my throat I was so relieved to find out it wasn't anything horrible. Used the q-tip with the HP on it and it worked perfect =) Thanks!

I get these spots often. I find it always comes up on the left hand side of my throat where there seems to be three small scar holes from where they have come out before. It started off as one spot a couple of years ago and now I have three. I brush twice daily so I don't think its to do with that. In my experience I have gone from using my finger and other things to push on the tissue around the spot and it would come out but there would be more behind it. Now I can just poke my tongue out and force a cough without actually coughing and the spots come out like little worms. I end up with a red face but its all clear inside my throat for a few months. Its been good reading this forum now I don't feel like the only one and have an idea it may just be Tonsil Stones. (I wonder if they are from fumes produced when I am welding).

Thank you so much everyone!!! I got so worried when I discovered these white lumps in my throat near my tonsils this morning. Luckily I had some long stainless steel tweezers (the handle of a long spoon would have worked just as well) which I was able to use to remove the lumps and they dislodged very easily. Once I got them out I realised I had experienced them before. They had travelled up from my throat into my mouth but not attached to anything (they are pretty gross smelly things that taste awful- apparently they are full of bacteria-yuck!). Glad they weren't anything to worry about. I thought I was going to have to go to the doctor!! Thanks again!!

I had what I think is one of these today, had the popcorn stuck feeling, and then tonight I touched it with a dental mirror and it popped out. My only question is, how did I get this tonsil stone, when I had my tonsils removed 30 years ago and this is the first time I've noticed a stone?

Thank you so much for the advice! I was starting to get worried because I noticed the white bump two days ago and I just thought if I gave it a day or so it would go away, but it was getting more painful. At first it just felt like something stuck at the back of my throat and then it started feeling more sore than anything. I did the peroxide thing and just when I stared to think it wasn't going to work I put peroxide on it one more time and as I gagged it oozed out. It was way bigger than it looked liked. It was hard and really smelly. But not longer painful! Thanks so much!

Wow, I was happy to come across this! As a kid I can remember having these down my throat, hacking them out, and wondering what it was. Now as an adult I regularly check my throat whenever it starts to hurt because I get strep a lot! I noticed a white spot on my left side, but I could feel it with my tongue, not a spot, but a bump (A kind of scratchy bump at that). I gargled, and tried to get it with a qtip, it didn't come out, tried HP with water and gargled, wouldn't come out. Finally I got something a tad longer and narrow and went poking about. OMG the size of the thing that came out was disgusting!!! First one piece, then another which was the size of an mini m & m, then a third piece. I think I got it all. After reading all these posts I am a little less worried about it since it matches to everyone's descriptions. Didn't think I had caves that big in my throat! I just hope now that that I got it all and the sore throat goes away.

Ahh I had this same exact thing today! But.. What's weird is, it left a hole where the white thing was. Is...that normal?

It took like 5 swabs with the hp from my wife. Each time a small bit came out. One time I just gargaled the hp, (did not swallow!!!) Not fun! But it did work. I had to brush my teeth x3 cause my mouth was putrid.

Hi, I had the same problem and I just took my tooth brush ran some really hot water over it and scrubbed it off.
Works alot better then the Q-Tip and peroxide, that method almost choked me to death! LOL :-D

THANK YOU EVERYONE! I had a hard white-ish bump on the back of my throat for a couple days now and it was really irritating my throat! I thought it was a popcorn kernal... and realized I haven't eaten popcorn in a lonnnng time! I've tried throat spray, scratching it with my nail, scraping with a q-tip, rinsing with hydrogen peroxide, using oral rinse.... etc. BUT by applying hydrogen peroxide around it for a minute or two (in between the gagging fits) and then trying to scratch it... somehow it came off! MUCH RELIEVED. I didn't want to have to go to the dentist or doctor! Rinse and use throat spray to disinfect afterwards..... hopefully i can figure out how to keep this from re-occurring!
