Possibility Of Having Tonsil Stones
I have had a feeling that something was stuck in my throat. Over the past two weeks when I have tried to clear my throat small yellowish lumps that are quite hard and smelly have been dislodged into my mouth. One was the size of a pea the others slightly smaller. Is it tonsil stones?
Thanks for your help
