Tonsil stone: What you are describing sounds like a tonsil stone. They are fairly common and are formed by debris in the mouth and throat that collect in the crypts, (holes), in the tonsils. There are some effective home remedies for tonsil stones but first I suggest seeing your doctor for confirmation. Here is more info; http://www.healthguidehq.com/tonsil-stones.html
