Hole In Throat Left By Tonsil Posted: 10-23-05 21:07pm
In 1967 I had my tonsils removed. In the
late '70s I noticed a hole in the right
side of my throat with white stuff. I
went to the doctor and he removed the
white stuff and said he had not seen
anything like it before.
In the 80's and 90's I had the hole fill
up a few times and again had the stuff
removed. In 2003 the hole kept filling
up at least five times a week.
My doctor at the time sent me to a throat
doctor. He said it was tonsil stones
with nothing to worry about. However, he
did surgery to remove the outer tissue in
order for there to be no more hole. This
was the most painful surgery since it was
so close to the ear canal (and I have a
high pain tolerance: example I went back
to my wharehouse job two weeks after
having my acl replaced in my left knee.
Most people would be out a couple of
months).
Two weeks ago the hole started bothering
me again. I can clean it out and open my
mouth to find more of the white stuff. I
seems endless. The hole has come back
but seems deeper and more down the side of
my throat than before. It is painful and
a little red. When I go to clean it out
with a long sterile swab I can open my
mouth the first time ok. When I go to
open it again my throat seems constricted
and my tongue does not want to cooperate.
I gag, my eyes water, my throat hurts
making me feel really bad for a while
afterward.
I thought about going to the doctor again,
but he probably just tell me it's nothing.
I disagree it is something that really
is bothering me.

Go to Doctor Nj Posted: 10-24-05 12:01pm
Nj,
please go to the doctor about the hole.
It is not normal. I don't want to scare
you, but there is a good possibility it is
a sore that is infected. Infected sores
that don't heal can cause serious
problems. If your regular doctor won't
help, go to a different ent than the one
you saw before with or without a referral.
And, please go now.
Carol
p.S. Let me know what happens. I
apologize now if everything comes back
fine and I scared you over nothing. I
hope that's what happens.

Tonsil Regrowth Posted: 10-24-05 17:40pm
I know this sounds strange but im pleased
that some one else has a tonsil bud.
I never realised that they can grow bk.
My left started to grow bk about three yrs
ago which I thought was a long time I had
my tonsils out when I was 5yrs old im now
32yrs old.
It is a perfect round smooth bump with 3
little white spots under the skin I have
tried to remove them but they are not
cooperating!!!!
I do also have a small hole just above it
but that was from a abcess there last year
and that was the lasting result of this
after treatment.
But I have noticed that my tongue is white
at the bk but the ent said this was
nothing to worry about as this is where I
have been drinking tea.
I would lie to say hello to catswold as
well, hi huney
