Tonsil secretins !
I hope this does not gross anyone out!
I have been developing a whitesh looking consistancy in my tonsils now for well over a year. I've been told that it's Strep and given antibotics every 3 to 4 months and it will come right back. I have no fever or sore throat. Another doctor say that I have craters in my tonisls and as time goes on the craters fill up with bits and piecs of food. Does this make sense to anyone out there? Sometimes it gets so annoying because it feels like something foreign is on the tonsil. "I can take 2 Q-tips and squeeze the tonisl and this white stuff come out". This just keep going on and on and on. I have seen a few doctors about this, but I still don't know what this means.
Could anyone enlighten me?
Thanks in advance.

I've had these "tonsil stones" off and on for the past 20 years. I am prone to tonsil infections, and have had a doctor recommend removal of my tonsils. I'm trying to avoid the surgery, but we'll see.
Generally, not a big deal. Good oral hygiene is a must. I also try to gargle with salt water because that helps to keep bacteria at bay.
You could try an internet search for "tonsil stones" -- many websites give suggestions on how to handle these.

They are called tonsoliths or tonsil stones...VERY common.
There are irrigation systems out there for this (forget the name)and you will have to perform a google search if interested.
Not much to worry about unless they cause frequent infection. Practice good oral hygiene.
