A member asked:
Have white thing stuck on tonsil. hasn't gone away for a month. quite large and irritates tongue and throat. will it go away on its own? what is it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Could be this: Tonsil stones are benign and range from smelly and cheesy to actual stones. These so called concretions are not really worrisome, but can be annoying. See:https://howshealth.com/tonsil-stones-pictures-causes-symptoms-removal-treatment/ One theory for treatment is a clean oral cavity with brushing often and maybe mild peroxide. Have your dentist take a look.
