Mimacat- Heather, I think I understand your throat thing now!

What was the name of it again? I just came back from the doctor and it he says it doesn't look like I have a throat infection, but food got caught in there somehow..it's so painful! It's actually been giving me headaches...I think I had food caught in there for at least a week TMI, I know..

Oh those cryptic tonsils!!!

they seem to be pretty common i guess

Yes, Gina, thats it!! Cryptic tonsils! Its AWFUL. I had it when I went to Vegas last year, and it made me not want to eat or get close to people!!!

It will eventually come loose... which is the worst part...

Thanks for the tip, ill be sniffing pepper for the rest of the night..this thing is driving me nuts!

This sounds REALLY gross...but you can clean the white spots out with a Q-tip. Just be gentle.

I was diagnosed with mine as a teenager after I had Mono and it left my tonsils like that, with the little holes....

Yes I gently dig mine out with a q-tip but be careful...my dr said you can get an absess this way!

Also use listerine twice a day. I always had the white things year round until I started with listerine...now I have not had them in a month!
