Are these white things on my throat mono?

me tooooo…!!!!! They are really horrible and smell really bad…they come out when I cough. I have tried antibiotics, but they didnt work at all. I have been to the doctors numerous time and have numerous checks and apparetly they are there to get rid of infections.. they are appently very harmless but I can’t seem to breathe with them. I got it about a year ago and I sing sooooo much. You wouldnt beleive how much I sing! Im in choirs, performed in the boy from oz ecetra exetra -(i dont know how to spell that lol) and there is alot of strain on my throat. I also have major anxiety problems and yeh I JUST CANT BREATHE properly and its REALLY scary..I also have crushing chest pains which are REALLY horrible. I used to also get these attacks where it was like I was having a asthma attack, but I don’t usually get them anymore :) but this ‘cant be able to breathe’ thing is very scary and horribel. PLEASE HELP ME!

A tonsillolith (also called tonsil stone or calculus of the tonsil) is a piece (or more commonly, a cluster) of calcareous matter which forms in the rear of the mouth, in the crevasses (called crypts) of the palatine tonsils (which are what most people commonly refer to as simply tonsils).

Tonsil stones, it is theorized, are the result of a combination of any of the following[1]:

* food particles
* dead white blood cells (a.k.a. leukocytes)
* oral bacteria, possibly from mouth breathing
* overactive salivary glands 

They are described as having a pungent odor[2]: halitosis concentrated into a small solid object. Visually, they may resemble sesame seeds or cottage cheese in color and texture.

Protruding tonsilloliths have the feel of a foreign object, lodged between the outside of wisdom teeth and the temporomandibular joint region of the fleshed jaw. They may be an especially uncomfortable nuisance, but are not often harmful.

Dear kirsten, Given your history in your previous questions I would say you had best go see a doctor ASAP you may have picked up and STD. Sue…Good Luck

I get them everynow and then they are scary beacuse sometimes they seem not to come out until a long time. They smell horrible and are nasty when you swallow them. :(

yes it is mono I had it and those are puss sacks they go aaway with ibeprofen and amoxicillen

Hey go get that checked at the doctor if your throat is swollen and hurting really bad get it checked now I had mono and had those white things before and didn’t even care to go to the doctor i just thought it was a cold or strep because it happens all the time well I waited too long and my tonciles got so big to where i couldn’t eat or drink and i was dehydrated an wat not n had to b in the hospital for a week

well white stuff is strep throat mono is more than sore throat and it is severe and when you get mono, you might also get strep so you might want to get tested for mono and strep

I had mono before and let me tell you, it is worse than a sore throat I couldnt eat for 4 days because my thraot was so swollen I slept about 18 hours a day I couldnt get up from my bed I had to quit sports it is bad

use a q-tip and scrape them out. they are tonsil stones most likely, harmless but annoying

sounds like streep throat but go she a doctor in eather cause. so he can give you an antibotic.

that is what it sounds like,are you running a fever? do u feel tired? if so that sounds like mono.

Well. Sounds exactally like what I had. I think it might be strep throat

golden4char is right.
