Okay, so I was looking in my mouth and I saw white stuff on my tonsils...?

Other people asked questions on various topics, and are still
waiting for answer. Would be great if you can take a sec and
answer them
Okay, so I was looking in my mouth and I saw white stuff on my tonsils...?And I pressed on my tonsils and like, a piece of plaque or something came out. Is that normal?

Go to your doctor. That is the beginning of strep throut

Those are called tonsil stones or tonsilloliths and they are harmless and many people get those. They are caused by debris building up in your tonsil crypts and cannot be prevented.

yes it is, it happens to me all the time! Its really gross white and sometimes yellow and it smells BAD! I went to the doctor because i thought that something was wrong and he said it was normal it happens to almost everyone but some people just don't relize it, so yes it is, and sometimes it can even come up in huge chucks no worries.

well that depends on if you are feeling a sore throat or no. if you feel like you are getting a cold then there is only 30% chance of strep throat. you only need antibiotic if you test positive for the bacteria. then, it could be the garbage on it answered by the other person.

i doubt your tonsils are 'leaking'. definitely go see a oral pathologist or a dentist. it's usually not normal, but varies in degree of abnormaliness.
white stuff in the oral cavity can be all sorts of things and without see it, it's hard to tell what it is.
it could be an infection. whether it is bacterial or fungal you'll have to see someone to take a look.
good luck

puss coming out, infected tonsils. Go to your ENT, get a swab tested & take antibiotics. Use salt water garggle.
