Does anyone else have this problem? Occasionally I will feel like I have a tiny piece of food stuck in my throat, but it won't go down with food or drink or come out with gargling or coughing. So I'll look in the mirror and I can see this little white lump stuck to my tonsils. I used to really freak out about this because I didn't know what it was, and my mom called it "cheesy tonsils" (gross!) and said it was just a build-up of crud on my tonsils. It's pretty gross. I'd have to get a popsicle stick or something to try to get it off, but I usually couldn't because I could feel myself starting to gag! Now I just have to wait for it to work itself out, and I try to spit it out rather than swallow it because I always wonder if it's all full of bacteria! Does this happen to anyone else or is it just because I haven't had my tonsils out???
