Weird little "rocks" in my throat?!


Question: Weird little "rocks" in my throat!?
Ive always wondered what these things are!.!.!.

Ok, so it doesnt happen often, but maybe once every couple of weeks something resembling a rock in shape kind of comes up from my throat (or somewhere down there) into my mouth!. Obviously it isnt as hard as a rock, but it looks like a little white/beige pebble and is probably the consistency of a piece of wet bread!. When you squash it between your fingers, it is stinky!.!.!. but only when you squash it- otherwise it doesnt smell like anything!. Squashed, the smell is difficult to describe; kind of like acidic rotten cheese kind of smell!.!.!.!.

What are these things!? I remember that as a child, I had a friend who used to call them "toxins", but Im sure thats just the layman
Answers:
tonsil stones, or 'tonsilloliths'!. they're apparently the result of either dead white blood cells, oral bacteria, or overactive salivary glands!. they're not uncommon!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

when I was younger I used to dig those things out of my tonsils with my fingernails!. Gross, I know, but I couldn't stand them being there!. As a young adult I was asked if I ever had my tonsils out!. When I said no, I was told they were nearly non-existent!. Don't know if I did that or what!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

OH MY GOSH I HAD THAT THE OTHER DAY AND WAS TOTALLY JUST GOING TO ASK THAT!!
also about an hour later i noticed that a strip of my tonsil was peeling off!. so uh!.!. i don't know if that's relevant but thanks i know that im not alone :DWww@Answer-Health@Com

I've had those before too!!!

When i was 15 i got one, and put it in a bag and showed my doctor, and she was just like "um!.!.!. its nothing serious!."


THANK goodness you asked this!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I know what your talking about, they are like lumpy cream of wheat things!. I notice that whenever I get sick or have a sore throat I get those!. I'm not sure what they are!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

you need to visit an ent (ear, nose, throat) specialist and then see what they say
