Plaque Like Deposits, Throat Polyps?????????? Posted: 12-14-05 23:01pm
I've been getting these yellowish plaque
like deposits in the back of my throat for
at least 8 months. They emerge out of
these bumpy ,blister type bumps in the
back of my throat . Sometimes there will
be a couple at a time. Other times there
will be just one big one, but I usually
discover at least one every week. I
smoked cigarettes from age 16 to 20,
ending off at a rate of 2 packs a day, and
then have smoked mini cigars at a rate of
one a day, which I do inhale, up until the
present, at which I am 23. I also have
some dental issues that might factor in.
I had some fillings that had fallen out,
exposing the gumline in some spots even, a
few years ago. I feel that I am at a
pretty high risk for infection and disease
since these exposures could offer a direct
path to the bloodstream for unwanted
infections and the like. Any insight on
either of these issues would be much
appreciated.

I have been getting these small
rock-shaped deposits in the back of my
throat in the same little fold in my
throat. I have to sort of gag myself to
make them come up and they stink. What are
they??? And why do they go there??

This is called tonsil cheese. Its merely
your body spitting out bacteria---your
tonsils are part of the lymphatic system.
the lymphatic systems job is to fight
disease. this is why you have these. its
nothing to worry about. I get it all the
time. the dental issues have nothing to do
with it except for that you have the high
risk for infection--its just your body
expelling it from the body and protecting
itself.

I myself have been
stricken by the plaque rocks, I also
referred to my mother and she replied(
It's normal) not what I wanted to hear.
I did a sort of process of elimanation on
diet. And it turned out the first food
that I eliminated was the culprit. White
enriched Bread!!!!!! I now eat Whole Grain
bread, And have not had a problem ever
since. (2 years to be exact)
