I see a white sticky material that comes out of the right tonsils holes. It's sticky and its milky white. Sometimes it's so sticky that it flows and stick to walls of throat. I was told this is keratosis tonsils. I have given my throat swab for culture and sensitivity test. I have sometimes slight irritation in throat
There is no pain or sweling. in the picture there is little white semi liquid in the hole below but it's not clearly visible without a bright light. It's been like this for over 3 months. Initially throat irritation was much more and now I have irritation some times not on regular basis. I am advised pro biotics and anti allergy tabs for now with hydrogen peroxide gargle diluted 2-3 times a day. I have been to several doctors and every one said there is nothing to worry. But I am scared of this white stuff in my tonsils. I thought it was tonsil stones initially. Can anyone point put what it is.
