White Spot in throat
For a little over a week now I have had a white spot on one of my tonsils. I have had white spots before but they were usually accompanied by cold/allergy like symptoms and went away when my symptoms did. The thing is I don't have any symptoms right now, no sore throat, no fever, no swelling, nothing. I just want to know if I should be concerned or if this is a normal occurence. When I try to pick at the spot it seems hard in texture and it is just plain white, no puss or any other sign of infection. Any help would be appreciated.valponick on 2005-09-29

I have heard of these - I have had them and my mum has also. As we are both ex regular sufferers of tonsilitis our tonsils are pock marked, leaving areas for food to collect in. I had one once, this was gradually getting bigger and bigger, then in the end I was over the sink trying to hawk it up (nice!!), in the end in came out with a bit of coaxing and it literally was just a ball of yuk! No symptoms or anything. Mum gets them regularly coz her tonsils are in worse condition than mine!! Hope that helps!!

Hi,
I suffered from white bumps in my throat for over 3 yrs. So I completely know how everyone feels in this forum. The correct term for these white bumps in the throat are tonsil stones.
Ive tried everything, my doctor initially thought it was an infection and prescribed me antibiotics. That didnt help at all. I then went to see a Throat Specialist, he told me tonsil stones are very common. Most people have got them, but they dont notice it because they just swallow it. The reason why people get the balls stuck at the back of your throat, is because when you eat, food gets stuck in the tiny holes called the tonsil crypts.
So over time, the tiny holes (tonsil crypts) in your tonsils get filled up with bacteria and food particles which then become smelly. There is one way of removing the bumps in your throat, use a water jet syringe and squirt the water onto the white bump. But thats only a temporary relief, because it will grow again.
Ive seen 2 naturopaths and 1 homeopath about my problem, but they couldnt help either. I have to say I have spent almost $800, just seeing naturopaths and specialists.
A few months ago, a friend introduced me to this berry juice called the Himilayan Goji Juice. Ive been taken it for a few months now, and my tonsil stones have completely gone! Its just unbelievable, the juice is made up of a berry called Goji (Lycium Barbarum). You may not have heard of Goji before, but it has been used in traditional Asian medicine remedies for generations.
What encouraged me to give it a try is that it is formulated by the Nutritionist Dr Earl Mindell, the man who wrote the Vitamin Bible, which sold more than 10 million copies worldwide.
I really think you should try this juice, as it has certainly helped me. I drink 30mls everyday in the morning. Here is the website, give it a try.
