What is the cottage cheese looking particles that are sometimes in the pockets of the human tonsil?These particles are in the pockets of the tonsil and can sometimes become full. They can have a foul smell. Out of curiosity, if you have never noticed, you can use a flash light and look at the tonsil and open the pocket and see these white/grey particles and can push the open the pocket and push them out to get a better view of them and take a quick smell. It does not smell good. Is there a technical/medical name for this? Where do they come from? What are their purpose? Is it unhealthy? Can it cause bad breath? Sometimes, if you push the pocket too hard one of them can actually penetrate the wall of the tonsil and go through it, in which case it might bleed alittle. Check it out!

I work for an ENT Doctor and there is no technical term for what I refer to as tosil berries. Your tonsils have crypts in them and can trap food and debris. Over time this debris can be manually excruded from these crypys. It can cause bad breath and the material is very foul smelling. This debris is not dangerous unless it becomes trapped in the tonsil and causes infection. Hope that helps.
