What Causes White Hard Deposits At The Back Of The Mouth?

I had some of that hard whitish stuff that gathers in the back of your mouth around your tonsils in my mouth and i coughed to get it out and when it was out it still felt like there was something else in there so i looked in the mirror and there is this thing that looks like another uvula growing out of my tonsil area that didnt exist until a little bit ago. i think the end is bleeding too, i might have bit it or something by mistake.. i read it might be ulcerative tonsilitis.. but I am not sure what is going on or what to do. please help. I am 19, male, 150 lbs 5 ft 11 in. no medical history related to my mouth other than a few cavities.

Hi,
Thanks for posting the query,

Before going for any daignosis, i would suggest you to get the condition examined by your doctor, if possible take the lesion and send it for a biopsy.
At home take lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouthwash rinses.

Take care!
