Why do we have white lumps in our throat?

Should I see a doctor?

If tonsil stones are very frequent, large, painful, or accompanied by other symptoms (fever, chronic sore throat), it is advisable to consult an  ENT doctor (ear, nose, and throat specialist) . In some rare cases,  tonsil removal  may be considered.

Prevention is better than cure

The best way to avoid tonsil stones is to adopt a healthy lifestyle:

• Cut down on dairy products if you are sensitive to them
• Eat more raw vegetables (as they naturally cleanse the mouth)
• Limit tobacco and alcohol, which dry out the throat
• Avoid mouthwashes  containing alcohol , which unbalance the oral flora

Those little white lumps in your throat may seem harmless, but they’re one of the most common causes of bad breath. Fortunately, with a few simple, natural steps, you can regain fresh breath and a healthy mouth.
