Amazing what you find when you google for "tonsil cheese"...\n\nhttp://www.everything2.com/index.pl?node_id=1263329

It is possible that it is thrush (because of the antibiotics), so try eating some yogurt (with live culture).  It may take a couple servings and days to clear up.\nHowever, not always is a white coating "thrush", sometimes it can be caused by dehydration or what you have eaten.  \nMake sure that you drink lots of water and buy a tongue cleaner.  It works far better than brushing and can be found by the floss in your local pharmacy or Wal-mart type store.  These are made specifically for removing bacteria from your tongue.

"Tonsil Stones are irregularly shaped, whitish/yellow, foul-smelling globs of mucous and bacteria that get caught in the back of the throat. They form in the tonsil crypts which are simply small pockets or divots that appear in everyones tonsils. The scientific name for these white globs is tonsilloliths."

Whoa!  It's a bad way to start a morning!  That stuff is nasty smelling.  I can only imagine how it tastes. Hide that stuff in a drawer away from your toothpaste to prevent that accident from happening again!  Anyway, have you tried Listerine mouth wash?  That's mighty powerful.  Or how about brushing your teeth, gums & tongue with the old fashioned solution: baking soda & water mixture?

Sounds like a throat infection

If you were on antibiotics and didn't finish  your prescription you may have the tonsillitis again, if your ears hurt you probably have an ear infection too  (it is pretty common since the throat, ears, and nose are all connected)  Try gargling with warm salt water, that will help.  (Popsicles are a bit better for tonsillitis than ice cream)\ngo back to the Dr. if it persists!! (you don't want it to turn in to strep)

Possibly detoxing, but I agree with the other fellow who mentioned ketosis as well.  Sometimes you will see a white substance on the tongue which is supposed to be a type of eliminative waste trying to exit your body.  You are supposed to try to slough it off with a clean cloth or napkin, which might rid of any odor and speed up any detoxifying process.

I was constantly in the doctor's for my tonsils. I had strep throat at least 4 or 5 times a year. After years of this I finally ended up in the hospital for a few days after developing sacs of puss called abscesses. It was NASTY. A month later I got them removed. I haven't had any problems since. I would definitely go to your doctor and at least have him/her look at them. It might be nothing, but you don't want it to become something real serious either. Good luck.

Gargle with a strong mouthwash like listerine a few times per day.  It will kill any bacteria in your throat

I am assuming that you have a hygienists clean your teeth at the Dentist. Having said that, do you floss at least twice a day? You floss to remove tartar and food particles between the teeth. Do you eat a lot of garlic or spicy food, that can cause terrible breath? You also need to brush your tongue as a lot of bacteria can form there. If all that is taken care of, you could check out your sinuses and tonsils. If you have an infection in either it can cause an odour. Last but not least, check with your Family Dr., perhaps you could have a bad stomach that requires looking in to. I hope something works but if all fails, go to a good breath mint or gum with chlorophyll.

you probably have seasonal allergies, you may need to consult an er nose and throat doctor. for now gargle with real salty water 4 times a day to kill bacteria on your tonsils. take an anti histamine if you not allergic like loratidine (claritin/allegra) and see the ENT about getting some nasal steroid like nasonex or flonase, they work wonders for people in your condition.  If this doesn't help the ENT may say the tonsils have gotta go because food particles and junk get stuck behind there and cause bad breath and nasty infections with chronic sore throat.  I had mine remove, no problems.

usually its a big clump of mucus and bacteria that was kinda stuck to your nasopharynx.......very smelly...thats the bacteria in it......you should definitely gargle with warm salt water over the next few days......these things will break loose from time to time......optimally its great if you dont have them but nothing to worry about if you do...

It is called a uvula. I think laryngitis can cause it to inflame, so can tonsilitis. You may need to take antibiotics to cure that

It sounds like you have a severe case of hookworm. Suggest this or tape worm to your doctor and tell them, don't ask, to be treated for this.

it sounds like tonsillitus or possibly a yeast infection in the throat.  When you get a really bad infection in the throat sometimes it doesn't all clear up and abscesses and keeps recurring.  If it is tonsils, you'd need them out.  If it's a yeast infection you have antibiotics will not help, you need to have some sort of treatment like mycostin mouth gargle, diflucan, and possibly mycelex troches.  Have them do a throat culture so they know what they are dealing with, see a ENT (ear, nose, throat) specialist.

The holes your are describing are normal anatomic structures in your tonsils called crypts. Your tonsils atrophy and become smaller as you age. The little stones that people are describing are tonsiliths and are mostly bacteria. You shouldn't be worried about your tonsils unless you are having signs of infection such as fever, sore throat, and such for extended periods of time or if they cause your to have trouble breathing. Otherwise those holes are normal
