A 49-year-old male asked:

Can growths that are like tonsil stones come from deeper down into the throat, from other glands, the trachea, the esophagus, and even the lungs?

Well: I've always understood tonsil stones to be food debris broken down by bacteria that get stuck in the crypts of your tonsils. Never heard of this entity anywhere else. Just wash them out or brush them away

I woke up Friday with a sensation of a tonsil stone in my throat. I kept trying to cough it up but that feeling of something caught in my throat didnt go away. I looked in the mirror & saw a bumpy/cyst like growth on my right tonsil. Should I worry?
