White Bumps In Throat _{Page 78 of 90}

Plantinga,
Thanks for your advice, however we're in Australia and it's a very different system. I'm only partly privately insured and everyone is entitled to Medicare however this procedure would be covered by all private drs. and still be free via Medicare (would have to pay for the private bed only and gap on anaethetist if going private). I chose Medicare as I'd rather my son have this procedure done in a childrens public hospital with an ENT that only deals with children. There is a very good chance we will get in in the next few weeks as I have said we are happy to have surgery at short notice if any cancellations arise.

Wow!You guys have really made me feel better about the tonsil stones, I'm glad I'm not the only one.

Oh my gosh, I am so greatful that I'm not the only person in the world with this problem. It was seriously grossing me out. I was too embarrassed to go to the doctors really (I mean, how could I say 'I get white bumps in the back of my throat, and when I pick them out with my fingers or with a q-tip, I see they are yellow-ish, oddly shaped and STINK LIKE NOTHING I'VE EVER SMELLED BEFORE IN MY LIFE!' nicely. I don't know, it just wasn't going to happen).

I can't get my tonsils removed becacuse I currently live in Germany, and they won't let me have anything done to them unless it's an extreme case :( This problem is really bothering me. I have a boyfriend at the moment, and I clean my teeth four times a day, and use mouthwash twice a day (and I'm starting to gargle with salt and water now too), but it's extremely embarrassing having bad breath and not being able to control it in anyway, even when you know what the cause of it is... Also, I only noticed these 'tonsil stones' a few months ago, but my boyfriend told me a week or two ago that he's started to get a sore throat (which I have permenantly - not a bad one, but it's always there) and I'm starting to think maybe I passed this horrible problem on to him?

By the way, I've read other people's posts that this could be smoking-related, but I don't smoke. I never have. And no one in my family smokes either.

Can anyone give me any advice on how I can keep the 'smell' at bay, and also how I could, perhaps, stop the stones coming so frequently?

Thank you very much!

this thread has attracted a lot of views and posts although this one is my first.

anyone who needs a cure to his/her tonsil problems can fill up the questionnair and try out the suggestions. i am sure many would benifit out of it.

You know I've tried alot of things to get rid of them, so finally I prayed and I've gone almost a month without having another tonsil stone. I don't know if any of you would want to try it but so far it's worked for me.

Liz, believe me, I prayed and prayed, nothing worked!

Anyhoo, it's been a very long time sinse I had my tonsils removed! Well over 2 months.

The bad breath is gone and has stayed away. I no longer get those annoying little things.

Well, really, all is good with me. Anyone having thoughts of getting their tonsils removed, read my other posts.

As a bonus, my ENT removed my uvula--I no longer snore! My wife's prayers were answererd!

Hi all-
just wanted to say that I've just had a stone-free month.

I was getting stones regularly for a while there, but suddenly in the last two months or so, they went away. I still have my post-nasal drip, and bad breath, but not 'stone' breath, and no stones.

Only two things have happened to me recently that I can connect to this:
One, my doctor prescribed clarithromycin for a blocked salivary duct. The duct didn't get fixed, but maybe the stones did?

Also, at the same time that I was taking the clarithromycin, I had two incidences of accidentally swallowing extremely hot food (porridge) past my 'bad' tonsil. It hurt like a mofo, but afterwards I did notice that it felt kind of good in my tonsil.

I'll write in again if the stones recur, but it seems that either one of these things (the antibiotic or the 'burned' tonsil) might have helped.

I also read up and learned that clarithromycin is often prescribed to fight H. pylori, the bacterium that causes stomach ulcers. Given that many of us on here also experience heartburn/acid stomach, I thought the connection was interesting.

Last night I was driving around and felt something in the back of my throat. I hawked it up and it was a big white chunk, that smelled really bad. I think these are the tonsil stones that your all talking about.

But, for about 6 months, my breathing has been slowly getting worse. and my throat continually feels like theres something stuck in there. sometimes to the point of pain. I thought maybe my epiglottis was swollen, I accidently inhaled a feather before this all happened, and thought that may be the cause. Ive had Xrays, CT scans, a cine esophogram, and even more xrays, they cant find anything. Anybody have something like this??

An ENT told me it was 'All in my Head' which Is bull. This is a serious problem. Im going to get his diagnosis in writing....so I can sue him for incompetence when it gets figured out.

I constantly feel like Im choking, and that something is clogging my throat. Sometimes I get an itchy feeling in the back of my throat. Ya know, I could live with the fact this is all happening. but it prevents me from getting enough air. I always have to breathe really deeply. Sometimes the left side of my neck goes kinda numb also.

If anyone has experienced this, or may have some advice, I d really appreciate it if you contact me. The Doctors have been giving me the run around for along time.

Thanks

LOL... johnnyplutonik you cracked me up. Wish I'd thought to collect evidence for the 20+ years I've had this problem. Dang, I could retire.


I just check in every now and again... but I've you want to learn what I discovered just log in and click on my nick to see past posts.

It's an infection. Antibiotics or surgery are your only answers.

Raw honey is a natural antibiotic.

The home made water pik I invented (mentioned ages ago) worked fine. But I've discovered an infinitely better tool - an inkjet cartridge refiller. It has a very long, very fine tube and attaches to a syringe. There aren't any sharp points on it (presumably so it doesn't snag the sponge inside the ink cartridge).

The syringe is filled with diluted Oraldene and the tube is then inserted into the crypt - slight pressure on the syringe and boy do the stones fly out!

Justme... any further progress on the nano bacteria?

I woke up this morning and found that I had a white bump on my right side of my throat where my tonsil USED to be! Is this normal, or am I going to have to get another surgery?

Actaully, now that I looked at it closer, it looks like a clear bump... like it's not food or anything. Like the bump is apart of my skin... get what I mean>

What could this be? :(

It is probably some kind of polyp. I have gotten them in my mouth before, usually near the back of my mouth but not in the same place as where my tonsil use to be. They do seem to reoccur in the same area but they, for me, were not too much of a hastle. I would just pop it and see if it comes back.

I tried to pop it out, but it won't budge. Is there any thing I could do to get them to never come back...? Even if it's a type of surgery, I'll do it. They just annoy me to NO END! I rather suffer a few days of pain if it meant never dealing with things things again :(

kittykit-
I don't know if this is comparable, but I had something like what you are describing when I had my wisdom teeth removes-- about a month after I had them taken out this little whitish hard lump appeared right on top of the wound. It just looked like extra skin, and it sloughed off after a while with no pain. Hopefully that's all you have? Mouth skin does weird things while it's healing...

I have the little nasty things also, and I have had them since I was a young girl.
I have found that an easy way to remove the visible one's are to use a water bottle. I have a water bottle that has pretty strong spray to it and I aim it at them and squirt. This really does work for me...
You can even try a water pik, as long as you dont use anything with to strong of a spray...

Does anyone else have a dry-mouth sort of thing going on? Where if you drink something, then not long after your mouth is dry again? I went to my doctor and made them rule out diabetes (which, thankfully, I do not have) and I don't seem to have thyroid problems either. (Matter of fact, I'm very healthy according to all the labwork I've made my doctor do on me within the past several months).

I'm just worry that I will still have the dry mouth and bad breath to go along with it after I take the tonsils out (I'm getting closer to making the decision to have them out.. matter of fact, I predict it will be done within the next few months.) I think I just need a few more of those of you who have had them out with success over a long period of time to step forward and share your story. ;)

kittykit,
i think i know what you are talking about and i've seen these things before. what it means is that the entire tonsil was not taken out correctly, and tonsils/tonsil stones can actually grown back little by little. I would go back to your ENT and get it checked out. tell them you are prepared to have it removed.

albert,
what kind of inject refiller do you use?

does anyone know ENT's that use the Coblation method in Canada??

thanks very much!

has anyone done coblation to get their tonsils removed in Canada?

I need to find an ENT that uses cobalation in Canada.

any help appreciated!
Thanks

albert22,

Here's a copy of the email i sent to nanobac, the company that was doing the nanobacteria experimenting.

'Hello,

I'm a stock holder. I purchased your stock after find your information while searching for information on tonsil stones and nanobacteria. Have you considered experimenting with tonsil stones instead of or in addition to kidney stones? I would think that this would be easier to do.

My web-research has found that tonsil stones are a result of a subacute tonsillitis that is most commonly an infection caused by actinomyces, a normal mouth bacterium. For some reason, a bacteria that is common in all of us only causes this problem in some of us. I'm convinced that nanobacteria is the cause.

For more information please visit www.abchomeopathy.com.

Justmebyanyname'

I'll let you know if i get a response, or maybe they'll post here looking for volunteers to contribute tonsil stones for experimentation. ;)

By the way... that ink cartridge refiller... I know exactly what you are talking about. That is very much like the monojet 412 syringe, but it would be easier to fill with honey to put into your crypts. Have you tried that yet? It's the way to go. You just have to make sure you get the right honey.

GL!

OH, and I'm still trying to find again the post I saw in Chinese (translated to English for me of course ;)) that talked about going to the Dr to have tonsil stones removed and having crypts refilled with antibiotics. The people in China may already have the solution for all.

Hi Justme (and the previous poster who aske about the kind of syringe I used). It aint the monojet one -it's a fine tube that you attach to the end of an ordinary tube and its made of steel (I presume). They tend to have a pink attachment where it fits onto the syringe. I'll look for a link to one.

And she reads Chinese indirectly - there are no end to her talents! But which kind of honey should I use. I promise I'll try it

Albert, please let me know when you find a link to the inkjet refiller that you use.

Also, someone suggested using honey on the bacteria.. but won't the bacteria feed on the sugars?? I would think so.

Maybe gargling with 3% hydrogen peroxide could work because of the added oxygen that could kill the bacteria.. or putting the peroxide in the inkjet refiller to get at the source of the bacteria..

I presume these are anaerobic bacteria, so theoretically hydrogen peroxide or pulling with ozonated olive oil could kill these bacteria..

I still am not sure how tiny microscopic bacteria inside a part of the immune sys (tonsils) can actually make these large stones (large in comparison to the bacteria).

What if it's the system doing it itself because of some imbalance.. just like plaque forming in arteries?
