Tonsilloliths: That's fine. "tonsil cheese", now called tonsilloliths, is actually masses of keratin that accumulates in some folks' crypts. Everybody has some palpable lymph nodes in the neck; yours may be extra big because of the stuff in your tonsils. Ask about laser resurfacing of your tonsils if this is annoying to you, or keep extracting the masses yourself.

See dr soon: If you have exudates, cheesy, white stuff coming out, and your throat is swollen, you need to see your doctor immediately, to get relief. Your throat needs to be examined in light of other findings. Do no smoke during this time, reframe from eating dairy, and sugars to reduce phlegm and mucus. Sounds like your lymph nodes are affected too. Before it gets any worse, see your doctor. It's time!
