They can also cause bad breath, throat irritation, difficulty swallowing, ear discomfort, or visible white spots on the tonsils. Sometimes they loosen on their own while coughing, brushing the teeth, or gargling.<\/p>\n<p>Although tonsil stones are usually harmless, not every white spot or throat lump is the same thing. Tonsillitis, oral thrush, viral infections, and other inflammatory conditions can sometimes look similar. Fever, worsening pain, swollen lymph nodes, significant difficulty swallowing, or feeling generally unwell can be signs that something other than a simple tonsil stone is going on.<\/p>\n<p>If the symptoms are mild and occasional, good oral hygiene, staying hydrated, and gentle gargling may help. Avoid aggressively digging at the tonsils with sharp objects, which can cause bleeding or injury. If the problem keeps returning, becomes painful, or comes with fever, swelling, or trouble breathing or swallowing, seek medical care so the cause can be properly diagnosed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many people are startled when they cough or clear their throat and suddenly notice a small white or yellow lump.
