So I think I have tonsil stones...
I felt a strange scratchyness at the back of my throat earlier.. like a piece of popcorn kernel was stuck back there..
I scratched at it with my finger to try and dislodge it and felt a small scratchy lump with my fingertip..
Rather freaked out I rushed to the bathroom to look what it was..
It looked like a bit of grit stuck in my throat.
with some gentle scratching at it with a knitting needle I managed to dislodge it..
It's a small dark thing about 2-3mm in diameter and it left a "hole" in what I now know is my tonsil..
Apparently ( according to google ) it's not that uncommon..
You get then when a duct in your tonsil gets blocked by bits of food and such.. and it's a cause of bad breath..
