White balls in the back of your throat?!
Question: White balls in the back of your throat!?
I've always been getting sick and bad sore throats since I was little!. My tonsils swell up because i get sick easily, and it's because of my dad's genes because he gets sick very easily also!. I sometimes get white stuff like white balls of infection in the back of my throat and they come out sometimes, and I know they're because of throat infections because i've been going to the doctor my whole life!. Also the ENT doctor i went to said it is normal for those to come, for anybody really!. But this time it's really bothering me!. I'm scared im gonna choke to death with them because its making me cough like crazy!. Don't write "get your tonsils taken out, go to the doctors get it checked out, yada yada yada" because I already know what they are & why they happen!. I wanna know can they cause any harm !.!.!. !? chocking etc !.!.!. I will choose best answer also thanks :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

They are not going to make you choke!. Don't worry about it!. Everyone gets white crap in their throat and tonsils when they get sick!. Just gargle with some salt water and try not to think about it!. You'll be just fine!. =)Www@Answer-Health@Com
I have the same thing, and I've had my tonsils for a long, long time!.
Severe infections have resulted in literal holes in the tonsils, like little caves, some shallow, some deep, some interconnected!. They're called crypts!. They collect all sort of debris, mostly mucus that drains from your sinuses, particularly overnight, but occasionally bits of food, too!. When the crypt becomes full, or swells with infection, the contents are expelled!.
Crypts can be the source of bad breath that doesn't respond to improved oral hygiene, but they're essentially harmless!. The solution, of course, is removal of the tonsils, unless that's counterindicated for some reason!. (It is with me!.)
My otolarylgologist told me many people with crypts create some sort of tool which scoops whatever's collected in the crypts out, usually with the aid of a mirror and a good light!. He said that as long as the tool was kept clean and the user was careful and gentle, this was a solution that could work!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
