I occationally cough up "white puss" from my throat. I went to see my doctor and he told me to try stop drinking milk because he thinks its buildup of milk that gets stuck to your throat. I stopped drinking milk but I still have the bad breath that comes with it (gross I know) I keep on chewing gum and drink alot of water and tea to cover it but I would like to know if there is a solution to clean my throat and get rid of it once and for all
any good suggestions will help
Thanks

THE WHITISH FOUL-SMELLY THINGS YOU OCCASIONALLY COUGH UP ARE TONSIL STONES WHICH COME FROM THE TONSIL CRYPTS.
YOU CAN MAKE SURE YOU SAY WELL HYDRATED, GARGLE WITH WARM SALT WATER AND USE AS WATERPIK TO GENTLY FLUSH OUT THE CRYPTS EVERY FEW DAYS.

Go see an ENT (ear, nose and throat) specialist. Sounds like you have post nasal drip, PND. You could also see an allergist and they could prescribe you flonase...this took care of my problem.
They are called crypts

You have tonsil stones, not puss. Google it, you'll get the information you need.
