Throat Hurting, Tonsils Look Deformed. Small Tonsils With Bad Smelling Bumps. What Could This Be?
Hello, recently my throat has started hurting so I looked in the mirror at the back of my throat and realised that one of my tonsils looks deformed. It s a lot smaller and bumpier than the other and quite yellow. Also there have been soft white balls of something building up on them and when I cough them up they smell quite bad. Do you have any idea what it is?

hello dear
thanks for your query at HCM
foul smelling and deformed tonsil might be due to infection of the tonsil.
if infection is present one will develop fever.
without fever white patches on tonsil can be due to many reasons .
get examined by ent specialist for proper diagnosis.
