Can you get tonsil stones deep in your throat? i have a white spot deep in throat no other symptoms
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Might not be a stone: Haven't seen that. Probably some people have big tonsils, and there are bacteria and inflammatory responses by one's own white blood cells in the holes (crypts) on the tonsils' surfaces... thus leading to lumps of stuff we know as tonsil stones. An ENT doctor can help, but if medical treatment doesn't make things well enough, the next option may be removing tonsils.
