Is the white patch in the tonsil, have a yucky rotten egg odor, sometimes come out and look like dried cottage cheese???
If so, you have something fairly common that comes from chronic tonsillitis.
"Chronic tonsillitis is a persistent infection of the tonsils. Repeated infections may cause the formation of small pockets (crypts) in the tonsils which harbor bacteria. Frequently, small, foul smelling stones are found within these crypts. These stones (tonsillitis) may contain high quantities of sulfa. When crushed, they give off the characteristic rotten egg smell which is well known to cause bad breath. They may also give a patient the sense of something being caught in the back of the throat."

You probably have tonsillitis. When tonsillitis first starts the primary symptoms are headaches and a sore throat .But as the Infection progresses the person affected can get really bad breath and white or yellow patches on the tonsils and tender, stiff, and a swollen neck. Side effects of tonsillitis can affect the whole body as, it causes aching body and severe headaches.

Know the asteroid wellhead tonsil stones them for many years and it's been title not eventually.
Best decision I've ever made! I was shocked by the way of getting out the stones out. It was so easy, but more importantly, painless. I really liked the little trick he had for preventing gag reflex. He have one happy customer here.

I used to have the same thing long time ago but eventually it went away in about a week. I got paranoid and nervous about it for a while. In any case, I would suggest that if the white becomes persistent, go and see a medical doctor. Do not depend on the answers in this forum for something like that.

There really is no way to tell you that ethically without examining you and culturing it. It could be tonsillitis, or another infection. YOur answer should and will come from a physician...see him soon!

Infection. If you can handle it, put some peroxide on a q-tip to clean it. Will probably have to do more than once per treatment. May take a few days of the same treatment, but it works. Not to mention you save a few bucks....

If your throat hurts, it could be strep. You might wanna go get it checked out before it gets worse!
