Yellow, lumpy, smelly things coming from my tonsils?Every night I always get these smelly, yellow lumpy pus coloured things from (I think) my tonsils.
I have good mouth hygiene, and I know you often get this when you don't clean your teeth/mouth regularly or you have a throat infection. I eat healthily most of the time and clean my teeth every morning and night.
Tips to get rid of it, and what exactly is it?
No, I DO NOT have a throat infection. I would know. Also I've been on antibiotics for months for rheumatic fever. So if it was a throat infection it would be gone.

they are called toncil stones :( i have them my self. they are normaly harmless and a build up of bacterica on the toncil/s :)
P.s im 99% sure it dosnt matter about your oral hygene. Its just the way the body is made whichdecided who has toncil stones. i brush 2 to 3 times a day and get them.
Pfffff....
Honestly, don't worry. This is perfectly normal.
Your tonsils are not smooth, they are all bumpy and pitted. Dead bacteria (nice huh?) can get trapped in a pit, and the build up is the yellow thing that you see.
It's not nice...but isn't really to do with your dental hygiene, and is completely harmless :)

They're tonsil stones (tonsiloliths). Some people develop tonsils that have more of a fold or crypt in them so they trap food, bacteria, mucous from post-nasal drip and form these smelly balls of stuff in between the folds. You may be able to loosen them by gargling with mouthwash or salt water or with a water pick, but they will keep coming back unless you either have the tonsils removed or reshaped to remove the crypts.
