A member asked:
I often experience this, a piece of smelly cheesy cold tht is expelled from my throat from time to time, what is this?, what does itt mean?, am i sick
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tonsil cheese : Extremely common and nothing to worry about. The tonsils have cavities, caves and crypts in which old food, shed cells and bacteria can form. Occasionally chunks of the stuff will be expressed from the tonsil and come out just as you're experiencing. Sometimes mouth rinses with antiseptic help, sometimes anabiotic's can help and rarely tonsillectomy is indicated.
