I have these white things in my mouth! They are really horrible and smell really bad...they come out when I cough. I have tried antibiotics, but they didnt work at all. I have been to the doctors numerous time and have numerous checks and apparetly they are there to get rid of infections.. they are appently very harmless but I can't seem to breathe with them. I got it about a year ago and I sing sooo much. You wouldnt beleive how much I sing! Im in choirs, performed in the boy from oz ecetra exetra -(I dont know how to spell that lol) and there is a lot of strain on my throat. I also have major anxiety problems and yeh I JUST CANT BREATHE properly and its REALLY scary..I also have crushing chest pains which are REALLY horrible. I used to also get these attacks where it was like I was having a asthma attack, but I don't usually get them anymore but this 'cant be able to breathe' thing is very scary and horribel. PLEASE HELP ME!

When you say 'white things' what exactly do yo mean? We don't have much to go on, I would say it sounds like your tonsils are infected and probably swollen making it hard for you to sing. Tonsils can be removed..I suggest you have a talk with your doctor about taking them out. Try gurgling some warm salt water it helps to get rid of them. Take it easy with the singing for now and by all means avoid cold drinks. All the best.

What is your qustion? The doctors told you what they are. Sounds like trenchmouth or a body yeast infection, both take a long time to heal. Get a second or third opinion. Ask a doctor these questions.

Personally, I think you have tonsiliths. (AKA tonsil stones) They are caused by little pockets in your tonsils being filled with bacteria, then fought by white blood cells. That explains why the doctors said they were 'getting rid of infections'. When they irritate your tonsils, the tonsils swell up a little making breathing uncomfortable. The tonsiliths can be caused by Acid reflux damaging the tonsils. Another symptom of Acid reflux is crushing chest pains, which you also described. Finally, Acid reflux's symptoms can resemble that of a heart attack, causing anxiety in the person experiencing it.

What I recommend is that you see an Eye-Ear-Throat doctor for their opinion. If they don't turn up any revealing information, you can by over-the-counter Acid reflux treatments and see what they do for you. After about a week the chest pains should go away or lessen. The tonsiliths will take longer, just keep gargling salt-water. They may, sadly, not go away until your tonsils are physically removed, but they CAN be REDUCED to a point where they are only the slightest nuisance.

I would like to end with the fact that a google search on 'tonsilith' will reveal multiple communities of people going through the same problems. Check it out.
