I have been getting grayish, spongy lumps stuck on back right side of my throat. I can feel the lump with the back of my tongue & when I swallow. I ve tried gargling, coughing, etc. to dislodge it, but that doesn t work. Then, it will dislodge & I cough it up. Smells awful. What is it? I thought maybe tonsil stones, but what I ve read doesn t sound like what I have.
Hi, Dear,Thanks for the query to Chat Doctor. I studied your problem in depth and I understood your concerns. Treatment for Smelly lumps on back of your throat-In my opinion you seem to have infected subacute tonsils with infected mucous plugs on them, which pains on swallowing and get cleared out after coughing it out with a bad Smell.What's the color of the mucous plugs? Yellow/ green / muddy/brownish?Hence, stop worrying about it but do check it up from ER Ent-Surgeon. For Final Diagnosis and treatment needs clinical data from a Doctor. And Hence for further treatment I would advise you to Consult ER Ent-Surgeon, who would treat it accordingly. This advice is based on the facts from the history you give and needs further clinical check.Hence, I would advise you to check with ER Ent-Surgeon. So don't build up wrong concepts and create more psychic complications in you which would increase risks and costs to you. Hope this would relieve your problem. Welcome for any more query in this regard to Chat Doctor. Write good resume and Click thanks if you feel satisfied with my advice. Have a Good Day. Chat Doctor. N.
