Ever since I can remember my tonsils are different. they seem to me to be fairly round but with almost craters indented in them. and those craters secrete a pale yellow bead like objects that are in the shape of the craters. they smell rancid and when they fall out or i force them out my tonsils tend to bleed a little bit. Also when there is one there are more that follow and continue to come out of the tiny tonsil. this is also predominately on the right tonsil. My father said he has been known to have this happen as well but not as often as mine.

This is keratin debris developing inside the crypts, (called tonsillar keratosis). Nothing to worry about.

Try if gargles to see if it helps.

If no improvement, visit an ENT specialist, and see if he can offer some help.
