What else can I help you with?
Where does the pus on your tonsils come from?
It depends... Sometimes the tonsils are infected with bacteria (tonsillitis) and pus will drain out. If this is recurring, there might be an indication to have them removed (tonsillectomy). It you find that what is coming out is hard and white but your throat doesn't hurt, you might simply have tonsils with crypts in which food particles get stuck.
You have notice that in the back of your throat on each side under a flap of skin there are little white ball-like substances that you can physically remove What are they?
Assuming you still have your tonsils, what you are removing is a combination of trapped food and pus. When a person has repeated episodes of tonsillitis the tonsils start to become permanently enlarged and sometimes pitted, thus trapping food particles. This, in turn, continues to irritate the tonsils and they produce white cells to fight the "foreign" material. You should see an "ear, nose and throat" doctor...he or she may recommend having your tonsils out. In the meantime, you can gargle with warm salt water, (6 ounces of warm water with one teaspoon of salt...stir until the salt is dissolved), to help irrigate the tonsils and reduce the buildup. Do this after each meal to flush food particles out. I have the same thing too and i went to the docter this is what u need to do. Ok set up anorther appoinment and they will get your tonsils out. that is what happenend to me.

What is the first lymphatic tissue that inspired air encounters?
The tonsils are the first lymphatic tissue that inspired air encounters as it passes through the mouth and nose. The tonsils help to trap and remove pathogens and foreign particles in the air as it enters the respiratory system.
Can food hang up in tonsils and cause an odor?
Yes. Food can become trapped in the tonsils and cause an unpleasant odor. In most cases, the actual structure of the tonsils has changed and instead of having slits, the tonsils have large pockets which allows the food to become trapped. You can remove the food manually using the handle end of a toothbrush or spoon or something similar, but never use anything sharp. Waterpiks also work but in most cases the water pressure is too strong and this becomes uncomfortable. Also, gargling salt water seems to help flush the food from the tonsils.
What is the solid foul-smelling discharge from tonsil crevices?
The waxy solid foul smelling discarges from tonsils are called tonsilliths (tonsil lith) or more commonly "tonsil balls or tonsil stones." They form when the crypts of the tonsils capture a food particle and it starts to "fester."
