The thing that comes out of your throat is called a tonsilolith. They're nasty little things that come out of your tonsils. Tonsils are helpful, despite what some may tell you. They act as a filter, and tonsiloliths, also called "tonsil stones," are the junk all packed together. They're normal.

Hi
I am not sure what this is called but I have had this. Sometimes if you cough or make a choking sound it can come out. its about the size of a pea and white and it smells really awful.
I must admit I not noticed it over the last year or two but I always put it down to having food matter stuck near my adams apple or something??

By drinking plenty of water and brushing
your teeth regularly, you can prevent bad
