can these yukky things in your tonsils cause you to be feeling like you are swallowing over an oyster....i had myself convinced that i had cancer of the throat
then i coughed one of these up///it must have been there for a long time
it left a numb feeling after it dislodged....and it definately affected my ears like the lump put pressure in e/ tubes.....it tasted and smelled horrible but my hubby said i did not have bad breathe
should it make you feel like you have a lump at back of throat? thank you

I have this exact same thing. I actually collected one, put in a bottle with alcohol and took it to my doctor (at his request). He examined it under a microscope and said it was epithelio debris. He suggested I brushed the back of my tongue. I do and it has helped some, but I still have them occasionally. I think it has something to do with sinuitis.
