A member asked:

Had tiny white dot on tonsil for few weeks, no other symptoms, not sick, pushed on tonsil today and it came out, was it pus or a stone, do i need meds?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Tonsillar "trash": The same happened to me many years ago. That little white clump of "stuff" was probably rather foul smelling and soft. It is not pus or a stone but something a pathologist called tonsillar crypt debris. It is material that forms as a result of the tonsils working to eliminate bacteria. They require no treatment other than what you have already done.
