Alrite, for the longest time a gland of some sort (I have one on each side of my mouth) has been secreting this vile tasting liquid and it's driving me crazy. It's behind my uvula in the top left corner of my mouth in front of my throat, I have come to believe it's an adrenoid, but I'm not entirely sure. Anyways, I got annoyed with it and started messing with it with my tongue (stupid idea I know). After a few minutes, I could feel like something was lodged in it. So with a little more pushing with my tongue I was able to pull out a large sized peice of this white-ish looking clump something with the consistency of dough, which seems to be the source of the horrible smell. Any ideas on what is wrong with my mouth, what the peice of material I pulled from my mouth is, etc?

*Already been to a doctor, they said it was allergies but I honestly didn't buy it, as he was not able to see the area of distress and was assuming.

alrite, thanks for all the answers guys.
but just to be sure, on the opposite side of where it was lodged, there seems to be a gland that it nice and smooth, but where it was located it's inflamed and open. is this normal because it was lodged in it?

CONGRATULATIONS! YOUR TONSILS ARE HEALTHY AND ARE KEEPING YOU SAFE FROM GETTING SEVERE THROAT INFECTIONS.
THESE SMELLY CLUMPS ARE COMMONLY CALLED TONSIL STONES. THEY'RE MADE UP OF DEAD BACTERIA AND LYMPHATIC FLUID.
THESE CAN BE SAFELY REMOVED BY USING A WATERPIK MACHINE.
THESE CLUMPS ARE NOT HARMFUL OR DANGEROUS, DON'T BE ALARMED.

the pice of stuff u pulled from your mouth is probably a spoiled pice of milk or cheese
(this happened to my brother 5 years ago)
he was only about 7 so my mom took him to the hospital and when they extracted it they said it was like spoiled milk or somthin
well anyways my mom said that it probably came from the sort of seperator from ur nose and mouth
some times i get like a pice of popcorn stuck in ther and it sucks so i just take my finger and scrape it out
watch out though because if it is actually something more then u should just see a doctor
BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY

Its not an infection. It is something called a tonsil stone. Google tonsil stones, and you read lots of info about them. They smell like that because of sulphur.
Here is a link, but just google and there will be a lot of info:

Take Acidophilus pills stumbled on at drug or wellness nutrition save, or drink milk with lactobacillus bacteria in it of which if additionally modern in yogurt!!! yet do no longer use the flavored. Use the all organic, unflavored variety!!! Or, communicate on your wellness care provider. stable luck to you!!!

Get to a DR as soon as possible. Here's a good site that might help:

See if you can find your symptoms there. But I would have a DR check it out as soon as possible.
