cryptic tonsils

Has anyone ever experienced this? I have had this for years. Its where the crypts of your tonsils get "stuff" ( I am not sure what it is) stuck in them.

I call the stuff white things, they stick into your tonsil crypts and they smell terrible. I usually can get them out with a Q-tip or they sometimes come out on their own. But I think they are pretty gross and wanted to know if I was the only one with this.

I have had that before when I had a throat infection(it was strep or something). I gargled warm salt water a couple times a day and it went away after a few days. Maybe try that?

Thus, that's just disgusting. Yes, I know that there are pictures of pvssysnot on here from time to time, but for some reason this got me.

I am really sorry you have to do that.

Nobody said it was pretty! Its nasty. I have had it since I was young. My mom used to think every time I had them it meant strep throat. But the doctor says its nothing more than crap in your tonsils.

Warning: Do not google it because it will gross you out! I probably get them 2 times a month.

LMAO!  They are called "tonsil rocks" lol, and yes, they are gross!  DH gets them from time to time.  P-U!  The doctor can scrape them if you discuss this with them, just a suggestion on how to deal.
