I had this feeling like something is stuck in my throat since this morning, I can see this white lump but it's soft and not painful. Is it a tonsil stone? Any advice? I've poked it with my finger and it just squashed Confused

Yes I would say so. I get them a lot. Get a cotton bud and squidge it out.

Yes! It's a big one Shock

Definitely, agree to use a cotton bud, then gargle with some salty water, it’s rank but will clean it out.

Ooooh beautiful 😍 agree with the others use a cotton bud to pop it out and film it as you do!!!

No chance I could film while attacking Sad I idi try though.
It just moves about when poked and hurts now 🙈
I can't just leave it though, any other ideas? I'm at work at 8pm for the night

Gargle with salt water or tcp

OMG I have never heard of these and just googled them... That is some nightmare fuel right there.

They look like extra teeth.

I'm at work (NHS) and dr said it's not a tonsil stone, but said it needs seeing by GP 🙄

My breath isn't bad either which is a sign of tonsil stones.
Dammit, I'd have loved to hoik it out!!

Let us know what the go says it certainly looks like one. Can you scrape it with your nail? They feel a bit like wet chalk.

lovelilies · 11/03/2019 19:03

I haven't been, no appointment available and it's shrunk a bit so maybe just a pimple or something. The skin is covering it so I can't actually get to it Confused

Did you find out what it was? My DM has something similar and won't get it looked at

lovelilies · 22/03/2019 11:11

Well it just went away by itself over the next few days so I'm none the wiser. Been to dentist in the meantime and there's nothing there now so 🤷🏼‍♀️
