white balls on back of throat

I've had them my whole life and so has my sister.  she eventually got her tonsils taken out and that solved the problem but the procedure caused her massive pain for a month.   apparently, having your tonsils removed as an adult is very painful.  using a syringe with water and blasting it through the holes in the throat is the BEST way for removal!  the balls come out whole and don't break apart limiting the aweful odor.

everyone has them. there are craters that collect debris in the tonsils and throat. its part of your immune system. they tend to cause more problems for people with allergies especially post nasal drip so an allergy medication will help reduce the problem.

Here's a good idea...floss!  You will be surprised! They will away if this is a routine. Gargle with warm water and salt. Also limit intake of sugar, and drink lots of water to wash food down. I have a post nasal drip that I always associated with these stinking little balls, but now I realize it's the food...since our tonsils do have pore-like holes that absorb residual food particals. FLOSS. Good health to you...and a minty mouth. Lol.
