Little white things in the back of my throat!

I have been having these little white ball looking things in the back of my throat for a few years now. They come and go but they really bother me. The white ball things will sometimes come up the back of my throat and in my mouth and they smell sooooo bad. I have no idea what they are or what causes them. It does feel like I have something floating in my throat and clearing my throat does not help. Is there a cancer that causes this or anything else that would cause this to happen?

Mmmm...man, it's gonna be a long summer without beer. Dh had a margarita the other night, and I sucked down a big gulp of it. He would only let me have one "sip" though...jerk.

ME TOO...
My husband cracked one open last night, and I just wanted to take it.
At least after this, my tolerance will be low, and I can drink cheaper.
Geez, I sure sound like a lush, well, maybe I am!  (((sulking)))

Rinsing your mouth with 1 part water and 1 part hydrogen peroxide helps too.

Your right.  I used to get them all the time when I was in my twenties (ya know, living on Mt. Dew, coffee, Bud light, etc.)  
Since I have stayed home, and have been pregnant and nursing for the past 5 years, they seemed to have dissapeared.  I have been drinking much more water the last 5 years, than I ever did in my twenties......and VIOLA, I haven't had them....
Sure don't miss that nasty stink....gross.
