Dunno by I really hope that’s your throat I’ve just looked at.

Ulcer?

Palavah · 09/11/2020 22:33

tonsil stones?

EatTheHamTina · 09/11/2020 22:34

Tonsil stone. Get checked by your dentist.

WitchFindersAreEverywhere · 09/11/2020 22:35

Looks very like a tonsil stone, harmless and annoying. Coughing hard often shifts them.

joanwinifred · 09/11/2020 22:38

Tonsil stone!
My friend had one which was removed by her dentist.

SugarMiceInTheRain · 09/11/2020 22:38

Tonsil stones. I get them and can usually eventually dislodge them with my tongue. They absolutely stink.

NickMyLipple · 09/11/2020 22:38

Looks like an ulcer to me.

EatTheHamTina · 09/11/2020 22:39

You can buy a tonsil store irrigation kit. Hopefully your dentist can budge it for you. They stink like shit. Literally. I work in dentistry and seen and smelt too many. 😷

Stone

Fortheloveoficecream · 09/11/2020 22:39

Tonsil stone. I get them all the time and just pop them out.

NickMyLipple · 09/11/2020 22:40

Oh wait!! That actually is your tonsil - I was looking at the picture without zooming in so can see from the uvula that it is your tonsil. Definitely a tonsil stone. You can hook it out with a cotton bud. Prepare for the stench!

Mischance · 09/11/2020 22:41

My DD gest these - she squeezes them out all the time. I keep away and leave her to it!

MazDazzle · 09/11/2020 22:46

It definitely looks like a tonsil stone. If you prod it firmly with a dry cotton bud, it should stick to the bud. Then you can pull it out.

drigon · 09/11/2020 22:50

Either a tonsil stone or an ulcer.

MoonJelly · 09/11/2020 23:00

Could be an aphthous ulcer? Very painful if so, I don't think there's much you can do beyond warm salt water gargles and painkillers.

DreadingSeason2020sFinale · 09/11/2020 23:08

I get tonsil stones on occasion and have a little dentistry kit I use to pluck the buggers out. They really do stink so bad.

BettaSplenden · 09/11/2020 23:22

Not convinced that's a tonsil stone. Quinsey?

Plump82 · 10/11/2020 17:23

Im not sure it is a tonsil stone. The cleaner picture looks like theres some sort if film over it. The other picture it looks like pus. I think it looks more like tonsillitis.

WhoWants2Know · 10/11/2020 17:33

It's hard to tell from the angle, but if you have a very painful sore throat then it may be tonsillitis (strep throat) as opposed to tonsil stones. Do you have a fever with it as well?

RuggerHug · 10/11/2020 18:12

BettaSplenden it's been a while and I know it's not the same for everyone but when I had quinsey it was like pus bunting across my throat. This looks far too polite for that.

DwangelaForever · 10/11/2020 18:17

I get tonsil stones all the time and that doesn't look like one. That looks like its under the skin. Could be some sort of infection/strep throat/quincy/tonsillitis

Merename · 10/11/2020 18:20

No way is the first one a tonsil stone, they are not under the skin like that, there’s wee blood vessels over that patch! I think more likely tonsillitis since you have sore throat, it can go white and furry, or an ulcer like others have said. I’d check it out with GP.

Tonsillitis
