White thing on tonsil?It is kind of gross but I want info on this.
I went to the doctor this morning with my mom to get my throat checked out because my throat was hurting a little but and my tonsils got larger. The strep throat test came out negative and the doctor said that everything seemed fine except from the fact that my tonsils were red (they looked the same color to me -.-) and there were a few "white dots" on the left one. She said that it was a bit abnormal. My throat hurts just a bit when a swallow.
But what is that white thing? I've tried taking it off but it won't seem to come off. It stinks (Sorry, gross, I know). I think that it's happened before and went away but this doctor made me feel pretty uneasy about it.. she said that I seem fine.
extra info:
I started noticing that white thing maybe a few days ago. My throat started hurting about two days ago. And only the left tonsil smells bad when I poke it, the right one is fine. And I started getting a little bit of morning breath a few days ago too.
Do you think that I am okay? I'm kind of worriiied.. I tend to get paranoid. x.x"

I had a similar thing happen to me, except both of my tonsils got puss pockets on them that I could actually get a white ball of puss out of. I ended up having my tonsils removed just because they would touch when i flexed my throat muscles. You will be fine, the worst that could happen is having to have your tonsils removed which is completely normal. It isn't that painful either, just a few weeks of recovery and you get pain medications to ease any discomforts.
