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.

Hi, Cherry - You probably mean 'tonsillar pharyngitis'.  Pharyngitis literally means inflammation of the pharynx (or throat).  Basically, this is your common throat infection which is most often caused by the same viruses that cause the common cold.  In some cases, the infection may be from a bacteria such as streptococcus - this is what we call 'strep throat'.  When the tonsils are involved, some people may use the term 'tonsillitis' or 'tonsillar pharyngitis'.  The typical symptoms are fever, sore throat, whitish pus on the tonsils, or swollen glands in the neck.  Not all pharyngitises need to be treated with antibiotics, but you would have to see a doctor to determine if yours does or does not.

Tonsils are lymphatic tissues inside the throat to protect the body from microorganisms entering through the mouth.

If this is a recurring and chronic problem then I would consult your doctor as it may be prudent to remove them.  If this is an occasional occurrance then it may just be an infection whch could be treated by antibiotics.  Either way, see your doctor. It may just be strep throat.

It might be not just tonsilitis, but infectious mononucleosis (kissing disease), viral infection and bunch of others\n\n\nWhat is Tonsillitis?\n\nTonsillitis (ton-sil-lie-tiss) is an inflammation of the tonsils caused by an infection. In tonsillitis, the tonsils are enlarged, red, and often coated (either partly or entirely) by a substance that is yellow, gray, or white. Tonsillitis usually occurs as part of a pharyngitis (throat infection). Tonsilitis usually begins with sudden sore throat and painful swallowing.\n\nSometimes, tonsillitis reoccurs, and may cause difficulty breathing. If this occurs, your doctor may recommend taking them out. This procedure of removing tonsils from the throat is called a tonsillectomy.\n\nWhat are Tonsils?\n\nThe tonsils are fleshy clusters of tissue that lie in bands on both sides of the back of the throat, above and behind the tongue. The tonsils' major function is to catch incoming germs before the germs cause infections in the throat, mouth, or sinuses. Tonsils contain infection-fighting cells and antibodies that stop the spread of the germs further into the body.\n\nIf the tonsils are taken out, the individual will not suffer from more infections than they did when they had their tonsils. There are other tissues in the body that will produce antibodies to fight infection.\n\nWhat are the symptoms?\n\nEach person with tonsillitis may not experience all of the symptoms. Some of the major symptoms are: a very sore throat, fever, redder-than-normal tonsils, chills, a yellow or white coating on the tonsils, a funny-sounding voice, swollen glands in the neck, and bad breath.\n\nHow is tonsillitis diagnosed?\n\nTonsillitis can be diagnosed by performing a rapid strep test, also called a throat culture. To perform the throat culture, the doctor will use a long cotton swab to swipe off some of the stuff on the surface of the back of your throat. The doctor will then test the "stuff" on the cotton swab. This test will determine whether you have tonsillitis and whether it is caused by a bacteria or a virus.\n\nIs Tonsillitis Contagious?\n\nYes. Tonsillitis usually spreads from person to person by contact with the throat or nasal fluids of someone who is already infected.\n\nHow Is Tonsillitis Treated?\nTreatment for tonsillitis depends on whether it was caused by a virus or bacteria. If the tonsillitis was caused by strep bacteria (streptococci), the doctor will prescribe antibiotics. If the tonsillitis was caused by a virus, your body will fight off the infection on its own. However, medication can be prescribed to alleviate the symptoms.\n\nHow long does Tonsillitis Last?\n\nIf tonsillitis is caused by bacteria, with antibiotic treatment, the illness is usually cured within 1 week. However, it may take several weeks for the tonsils and swollen glands to return to normal size.\n\nWhen tonsillitis is caused by viruses, the length of illness depends on which virus is involved. Usually, people are almost completely recovered within 1 week. \n\n\n\nTonsillitis..What is it?\n\nwww.mamashealth.com/tonsillitis.asp \n\nTonsillitis\n\nhttp://kidshealth.org/kid/health_problems/teeth/tonsillitis.html \n\n   \n    Tonsillitis is an inflammation of the tonsils caused by an infection and typically causes sore throat, fever, swollen glands in the neck\n http://kidshealth.org/parent/infections/bacterial_viral/tonsillitis.html \n\nTonsilitis check\nhttp://www.rdoctor.com\nhttp://www.symptomat.com\n    \nMedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia: Tonsillitis\nTonsillitis is inflammation of the tonsils.

Tonsils are the once to help your body release different types of enzymes and harmones which will act as the first aid or the first battle against any harmful bacteria or virus that get into your body. \nLike when you catch cold, or trying to fight fever etc. \nIf I were you, i would get it treated instead of getting them removed unless if they are often bothering you. If taken out they are not much of a hassel, but i would get them removed only if that was the last resolution

The most common symptoms of strep throat are a sudden, severe sore throat; pain or difficulty swallowing; fever over 101° (38.3°); swollen tonsils and lymph nodes; and white or yellow spots on the back of a bright red throat. Strep infection may also cause a headache and abdominal pain. Less commonly, strep throat can cause a red skin rash, vomiting, loss of appetite, and a general feeling of discomfort or illness.

think about it, its the trachea and bronchial surfaces that contain the dust trapping mucus and the cilia which then transfer the dust to the throat to be swallowed.\n\nif these surfaces are damaged in any way (smoking being a big issue here) then any microbes inhaled will have more chance of getting past the defences and into oxygen rich, warm and moist environments deeper into the lungs

The "dangly bit" is called the uvula and when it is inflamed and swollen, that's called uvulitis.  This is not tonsillitis! Your girlfriend needs to have someone drive her to an ER now before she goes into respiratory distress.  Call her now and advise her to avoid gargling or drinking.  Nothing by mouth!  Understand?  Get her to an ER.
