I too get tonsil stones... often, but today I had something that upset me a bit more. I had white spots covering the majority of my tonsils and rash all over my body... My doctor prescribed an antibiotic... but so far it's just getting worse. The itching is unbearable, and making it hard to sleep...
Do you think it really is tonsillitis? This is the third time I've had "tonsillitis" and it's never been this bad, and I've never had a rash with it... Should I be worried about anything other than the sleep deprivation?

Having been sick with cancer for about four years now, as soon as my oncologist saw the "tonsil stone" he wanted an immediate biopsy. He said the majority are benign problems but since I am a former smoker he wants to make sure it is NOT cancer there. The otolaryngologist says it's nothing to worry about....says many peeps get them, but they just dig them out. Call me lazy, but he's taking that bad boy outta there. :-D

I talked to my doctor about them. They are normal. He said my tonsils were more rough than most people and they collect junk from food, etc. I didn't ask him what to do about it. He did say it would contribute to bad breath. Mouthwash and good oral hygine helps. I use a wet Q-tip to get the things out. That helps prevent the bleeding. I'm sure the tonsils bleed because they are so sensitive and the lining is thin.

I get tonsillitis regularly and I can practically diagnose myself now I always get a fever , can’t swallow more than a drop of water so end up loosing a lot of weight and having no energy and just to make things that bit worse when put on antibiotics I get thrush. The white spots can also be ulcers which makes it ten times more painful. I tend to use Oraldean mouth wash and Difflam throat spray to ease the pain they work well and if the problem is caught early I find they help speed up the recovery.

are these tonsil stones? I was wondering if anyone ever had this in their throat... I'm big fan of anime and this forum and everyone here mostly helpful so I figured since I am not getting answers on medical forums id ask here =) does anyone know what the hell this is at back of my mouth? Image of my mouth in spoiler for those that want to see. I dont smoke, male and im 24. it was small and white this morning and i touched it thinking it was food, then it bled a little. now its like u see. it moves slightly when i touch it, so its soft. It grew within 2 days. meh quite a weird thing to post here i know, I just really find people helpful here in past lol. Anyway i hope its nothing serious.

so any help would be appreciated. oh mines smell bad when i touch with q-tip to.

I've had these on and off for about the last 15 years! It's harmless, but they can sometimes occur right before or right after a cold. It can cause soreness and it is not uncommon for your tonsils to bleed after scraping them out. One thing I can say is that my tonsils have stayed enlarged ever since the first occurence, but I have had no issues with that.

I recently had a bald cold or sumsht and like, I saw a white piece of ass on my right tonsil so I touched it with a q-tip and it f*****g started bleeding. I was goin apeshit about it. It's still bothering me and pissing me off as I type.

take a sterile q-tip and press gently around the area that is full of the stuff. It will then ooze it.

Sounds like you need to get tested for MONO. If you have mon you can get MONO TONSILITUS, a form that cannot be curedw ith antibiotics. Any antibiotics taken when you have mono will give you a rash. It's just a blood test...I went through all of this last night but I DO NOT have mono....Phew!!

Hi there I have just recently found the white gunk on my tonsils also, the comments i read helped me alot, but when they say ooz, doze that mean the stones are deep in the tosil like puss, and if you keek taking them out does tha make the crypts bigger?

for years i have had bouts of tonsilitus. only in the last year did i decide to explore my tonsils because inside the crators in my tonsils i could c little white lumps inside. the best method is a hair grip, sterilised i insert the looped end into a crator and scrape around pull out and a little white nugget will be attached inside loop. however this may only b affective for you guys if ur crators r big enuf to fit the end of a hair grip inside. i clean mine on a daily basis 9 times out of 10 removing around 5 lumps the size of peice of cous cous sometimes larger. i av notiic tho recently that my tonsils r bleeding ,, but this may be down to the constant prodding my tonsils get!! its so annoying because its embarrassing haviing bad breath and coffing out lumps but glad im not the only one! x

So I've been aware of these badboys for the past couple years now. I used to just cough them up on occasion, but now I know where they come from, my tonsils.
No need to worry about anything, they seem quite common, just VERY annoying. I can tell when I have them, because if I lift my chin and breathe through my nose, I can smell 'em(eww I know).
What I do to remove them is dip a Q-Tip in your mouth somewhere that has saliva, then stick the Q-Tip far into your mouth lengthwise and move it to the side. Run it along the crevesse you feel and you'll more than likely gag, but when you cough, the stuff should start coming out. Quite nasty and they have THE most pungent smell on this Earth. Keep doing it until nothing gets coughed up anymore.
Mine started bleeding today, but no biggie. Doesn't hurt or anything.
So don't worry fellow Tonsilithers, everything is gonna be alright.
