white substance coming from throat gland...
one day i felt something funny in my mouth when i woke up. i got it out and it was this little glob of off-white stuff. kind of firm but not hard. smelt funny (like nothing i've smelt before - and not a good funny!)
i looked in my mouth with a torch and at the back - on the side of my throat (level with the dongle bit in the centre / roof of mouth) - the section just before the tonsils - i saw the same whitish stuff sitting there. i went to scrap it off gently with my nail but as i put a bit of pressure on the side of where the white bit was, more came out. it came from a hole in the side, which is still there now.
I didn't have a sore throat when this first happened, but it's happened on the other side of my mouth now - a couple of times. i do have a sore throat and slightly swollen glands now - and i don't know if it's related but it's not actually sore where the hole is.
does anyone know what on earth this is?
i am fairly sure it isn't my tonsils. i think they are slightly further back. it's not pus or a cist / abcess gone bad etc - because it is the same looking, feeling, smelling thing each time and from the exact same location on either side of the mouth... can anyone at all help?
