white stuff stuck in my throat?

You seem to have a nasty infection although you fail to mention if you have or have had a fever.  However, this could be caused by all sorts of things from virus to bacteria.  It could be a simple streph throat or even a venereal disease, so I suggest you stop surfing the net for a couple of hours and get yourself checked out since what ever is causing this has not gone away by itself and it could get worse or even spread to your lungs.

you could have built up old food compacted in front of your tonsils, .. or just severe post nasal drip..Have you had a lot of conjestion? also, I have learned the hard way,...drink tons and tons of water..(not soda, or ginger) Water helps!:)

Sounds like you may have a sore throat that is causing the blood.  Try gargling with warm water with a little salt in it.

Actually you have an infection.  That's what puss is.  If your throat or tonsils are coated with "white stuff" or "puss" then you more than likely have strep throat which requires antibiotics right away.  That will get rid of the infection.

Go to your doctor and let him swab your throat for a culture.  You may have strep throat.

It is hardened pus that collects in the little indentations in your throat.  If you look into a mirror with a flashlight and can see them in there, you can gently dislodge them with a cotton swab, saving yourself some pretty bad breath.  Gargle with wam salt water to prevent their forming again.

They are called crypts, or more commonly throat stones. They look like cottage cheese chunks that you cough up every now and then, but when it does come up, it has a very very bad odor. It normally grows/lodges itself in the folds of your tonsils. I still don't know the true origin of these crypts, but I know of a few people who have them. I myself suffer from this from time to time, and the only thing I know to combat this is to keep your throat moist. According to my research online, drinking your fluids throughout the day, washing down your meal with a favorite drink, or just keeping your throat hydrated should do the trick. There is more information at the site below. You can also do a search for "crypts" or "throat stones"

I suggest you see a doctor.  NO ONE here can diagnose you and neither can a doctor without examining you and possibly running some tests.  If you have a geographical tongue, these could be normal for you.  Since you should (hopefully) know what your tongue looks like and never noticed them before, then you need to be checked as obviously the bumps are something new for you.\n\nStrep throat only affects the throat...not the tongue.  If you had thrush, you would know it because you'd see white patches inside the mouth  and on the tongue that look like cottage cheese or milk curds.\n\nIt is never wise to take antibiotics you have laying around when you have no idea what is wrong with you.  The wrong antibiotic can do more harm than good.\n\nIs it contagious?  Who the heck knows without having a formal diagnosis.  Until you see a doctor, I suggest you refrain from kissing and any other "stuff".

Its actually food particles. My daughter has had them like that because she had a lot of tonsilitis when she was young and it pits your tonsils so that small bits of food can get lodged. Its like a plaque would be on your teeth, so thats why its smelly. You might also have post nasal drip which is what makes hers really bad. Her Doc suggested gargling with listerine 2 times a day (not any other mouthwash, must be Listerine)and drinking more with meals. It helped her a lot. It only flares up occasionally now. It will take about 3 days or so to tart lessening then should be mostly gone in 2 weeks, provided you stick with the routine. She also took a decongestant with her routine, but you would want to talk to a doctor about your need for that.

Your urge to clear your throat is likely caused by mucus draining at the back of your throat (probably caused by irritation of nasal and sinus passages from smoke, but sounds like you already know this). The best solutions are things that address mucus drainage -- thinning agents (Robotussin), drying agents (pseudofed), and soothing agents (cough drops, honey, hot drinks). A simple OTC treatment which will dry, clear and soothe is a salt water gargle. Heat one cup of water with a teaspoon of salt, cool a bit and then swish and gargle while the solution is warm. Good luck! :)

First off, you may want to go get this checked out by your doctor. First check and see if the white stuff on your tongue can easily be scraped off.  If it can, then it is most likely a candida (yeast) infection.  Any condition in which your immune system drops (such as prolonged used of antibiotics, corticosteriods, or immunocompromising diseases like AIDS, chemotherapy, etc.) can predispose you to this infection. This infection can also cause redness of the tongue without the white coat.  If it is oral candidiasis, also called oral thrush, then antifungal treatment can be prescribed to you by a doctor. Now if the white stuff can not be easily scraped off, then the diagnosis is most likely something called leukoplakia that could be precancerous.  Either way, see a doctor.  You will know what to do if/when this happens again.

Just keep drinking water.  Chances are, your throat is just irritated and feels like there is something stuck in it.  Try a soothing throat spray like Cloraseptic.

"Tonsil Stones are irregularly shaped, whitish/yellow, foul-smelling globs of mucous and bacteria that get caught in the back of the throat. They form in the tonsil crypts which are simply small pockets or divots that appear in everyones tonsils. The scientific name for these white globs is tonsilloliths."
