I've got a hole (like a cut thats been opened up) right on my left tonsil.

Theres this nasty, salty white material that continually comes out of this cut. If I squeeze my tonsil it comes out, and quite a lot, so there seems to be a large cavity of it.

I'm really a bit scared cause I don't know what this is. Anyone ever heard of something like this? Is it tonsilitis? Any help? I didn't cut my tonsil, and it's been doing this for some time.

I think I'll go to the doctor.

Tonsiloliths (tonsil stones)

People with chronic sinusitis and post nasal drip may develop tonsiloliths, or tiny, white, foul smelling stones which lodge in the tonsilar crypts. Sometimes a tonsolith can be pried out of the surface of the tonsil with a pencil or other small pointed instrument leaving a little "hole" (actually the tonsilar crypt) where it was located. Tonsiloliths sometimes give the feeling of something lodged in the throat. They can also contribute to bad breath. Some people have chronic problems with tonsiloliths. The only sure treatment for chronic tonsiloliths is removal of the tonsils. The operation is performed by an ear, nose and throat specialist (ENT) and is fairly simple and safe. As noted above, in adults the operation causes a very serious sore throat for two weeks post-op. Short of removing the tonsils, the bad breath can be treated with mouth rinses, and the condition itself may be lessened by gargling with Peridex® mouth wash which is available by prescription from your dentist or physician, and possibly by the use of decongestants to lessen the post nasal drip which is part of the cause of tonsiloliths.

Tell Dr. Hacknslice to save your tonsils so that you can post pics in this thread. Preferably in high-rez, with something like, "OMFG pwn3d!!11!!1!" written across the picture diagonally. thnx.
