For a while now, sometimes every few
weeks, i'll cough up these white-ish
pea-size clumps. I can feel them stuck in
my throat and it is very uncomfortable.
There is no pain involved, just annoying
discomfort. I have no idea what they are.
What is it? What do I do?
Thanks for your help.

Tonsil stones. Never heard of them myself
until I did some "surfing" and read about
hthem. They are apparently a build up of
bacteria. Look like little tiny clumps
of cottage cheese. I went to the dr, yet
he never did a throat culture or anything.
I told him I had infection in my throat.
As a kid I kept sore/infected throats,
strep, you name it. He prescribed this
gargle antibiotic ....Turned out that was
not what I had at all. Gargle with
hydrogen pyroxide mixed with a little warm
water. This should clear these up. They
will reoccur, not sure why. But this is
what I read. I hope have at least helped
some. Didn't mean to come on and waste
anyones time!

Do you know how much hydrogen peroxide to
use? Also, how often can or should you
gargle? Thanks in advance

Sorry, I have been away from my computer,
to answer the question: I use 1-2 caps
from the top of the peroxide bottle per 1
cup of water. Sometimes, I dilute it even
less. If you use straight peroxide, in
time your tongue sometimes turns black!
An added bonus, it also aids in whitening
your teeth! I am told listerine will work
wonderful too, but I can not stand the
smell or taste! Hope this has helped you!
