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.
