cryptic tonsils

Posted by LJ1982 @lj1982, Jun 27, 2012

Hi I have this problem that I was wondering if it happened to anyone else. Does anyone else sometimes get white, spongy like plaque stuff that comes out of your throat? It just started happening like last year and I don't know why. Sometimes I have to cough it up.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Ear, Nose & Throat (ENT) Support Group.

These tend to form in pockets in the back of the throat. It is food debris that gets caught in the pockets, Sometimes they come loose and you can cough them up. This is wierd but it actually runs in our family. No of us have had our tonsils out and I think we should have. My brother had this also, he developed tonsil cancer. I fear for my daughter because she has these pockets too. I have told her that as soon as she has medical insurance she needs to have her tonsils removed. I bought her a water pic dental machine to try to spray them out, it helps alittle.

Post covid I developed awful choking post nasal drip. But what I notice is the crypts in my tonsils are full of green muck that I can’t swallow. For the first time I’m also developing stones on tonsils. What does anyone recommend?

Interested in finding out if anyone had an Arytenoidectomy for paralyzed vocal cords and how are they doing now?
