Question:
What's the white stuff coming out of my tonsils?
I was looking in my throat and saw like a while spot on my tonsil, sort of like food stuck on it, so i stuck my finger in there to see what it was, and it sort of just oozed out on my finger. Ew i know, but i was just wondering what it is. It was kind of hard, and smelled gross...and now its like a hole left in my toncil. It doesnt hurt. But i was worried about what it was. Should i see a doctor?? Or is it normal?
Answers:
This is called a tonsil stone. Everyone has them from time to time. Most often you just swallow them without knowing they are there but every so often you may cough one up. As you have discovered they smell really bad. They can be a major cause of bad breath but they are not a danger to your health.
