What Causes White Piece Of Flesh Behind The Throat?
Hi. I have a small white piece of thing way behind my tonsils, going down the throat. Its just that I can see it if I really attempted to!! It was much nearer yesterday!! But after seeing that thing, I quit smoking, and it kinda descended down the throat. Its a loose white piece of thing and not attached to the tonsil. Its on the back of the throat!! Please help me!! What is it?? I am really nervous here!! Please help.

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms seem to be related to tonsil stones.
I recommend to gargle with salty water.
You can also push on the tonsil with a cotton swab or your toothbrush until the stone pops out.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
