tiny white puss like balls that have a horrific odor
by michelleblue69, Sep 05, 2006 12:00AM
I have been sneezing alot lately and tiny white puss like balls have been coming out of my throat. They have an awful odor when you smash them. I know that sounds disgusting, but I am at a loss as to what they are and what causes them.

They are called tonsiliths or tonsil stones. If you do an online search, you'll get a better understanding of them. Trust me, many people have these and nothing to worry about here.

My daughter has been breathing out of her mouth for the last 6 days. No fever, or runny nose or coughing. She has a lot of white mucus on her throat. They ruled out strep and think it is a vius. But since she hasn't had a fever I was wondering if it could be allergy related. Can allergies cause white mucus on the throat? And can allergies show up as a virus in the blood?

You should get her tested for mono right away.

I too have tonsil stones. They are no big deal and no harm is caused by them, other than an annoying feeling in your throat every once in a while or bad breath. Just remove them when they get to big with a water pick or your finger.
