White plaque ball stuck to rear of throat

[Nocturnal]

I know this has been posted about before. I have been searching to no avail. I'm talking about those things that get stuck in the back of your throat close to your tonsils. I don't think everyone gets these but there were a few people here who got them. I was wondering what is the easiest way to shake them loose so that you can spit them out? I've had one for a while now and all the screaming and yelling and eating will not make that little ah heck move. It is quite irritating especially when I drink water or anything liquidy.

Thanks for understanding and if anyone can link me to the thread I'll ask the mods to lock this and post in the other. I could not find it for the life of me. Thanks!

tonsilloliths... google for more info.

To get them loose you can try gargling with salt water. Or attempt to pick them out with your fingers--gross but sometimes that's all that works for me.

I use to use that thing that dentists use to scrap your teeth. It has a little hook on the end.

I often times end up gagging myself though. I'll try the salt water trick. Any other ideas?

That crap ALWAYS comes out when I'm swimming. ALWAYS. I don't know why, maybe it's the chlorine, but those little balls come out when I'm swimming.

I finally have a friggen name for this stupid thing. Yeah if you have your tonsils out you won't get them anymore. I've smelt them before and OMG they do smell like asscrack.

use 2 toothpicks taped end to end, and kinda poke at it.

Well...I'am looking...and....I don't see anything stuck on my tonsils.

Errr... I'm glad I've never had one of those by the sound of it.

I grab my neck and push in and up on my tonsils gently while gargling every morning.

I haven't had any big ones form since I started doing this.

There you have it, breathe some chlorine gas and that should cure it right up!
