∙ 14y ago
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."

What is the name of the stinky white things you cough up sometimes from your throat?
A tonsillolith (also called tonsil stone or calculus of the tonsil) is a piece (or more commonly, a cluster) of calcareous matter which forms in the rear of the mouth, in the crevasses (called crypts) of the palatine tonsils (which are what most people commonly refer to as simply tonsils). Tonsil stones, it is theorized, are the result of a combination of any of the following[1]: * food particles * dead white blood cells (a.k.a. leukocytes) * oral bacteria, possibly from mouth breathing * overactive salivary glands They are described as having a pungent odor[2]: halitosis concentrated into a small solid object. Visually, they may resemble sesame seeds or cottage cheese in color and texture. Protruding tonsilloliths have the feel of a foreign object, lodged between the outside of wisdom teeth and the temporomandibular joint region of the fleshed jaw. They may be an especially uncomfortable nuisance, but are not often harmful.
