What is happening to my friends throat?

Question

my friend just told me that "sometimes" when she swallows, that these little bead type things come up into her mouth. ???????????? what the h**l is that? she said they are soft and squishy. kind of yellowish in color. and that really makes me freak out a little bit. i have never heard of it. so can anyone out there help us with this. it seems a little odd. but somebody somewhere, must know what it is........and please avoid the sexual respones. i already know the word swallow is gonna turn some guys into perves. it has nothing to do with s*x.

Answer 1

Hi there..yes I have had that before, I was told it was from my tonsils, that its like a puss, ( yukky I know)..I was told it was natural to happen, but someone also said your tonsils could be infected...If they hurt , I would go to a doc...good luck to your friend...I know how gross it can be!

Answer 2

It has to do with the tonsils. Have it before.  Go to the doctor for advice.

They also smell terrible when you squash them. She needs to try spitting them out and not swallowing them.
