I always thought the little gross white things I would cough up or get stuck in my throat every now in then were food caught into the back of my throat until I looked it up. I knew they smelled gross, but have never been told I’ve had bad breath. I brush, chew gum, and eat mints alot. Do these always give bad breath, and no one has ever told me???? Is there any way to get rid of them other than have your tonsils removed? Also, it only seem like it comes from the back openings of the right side of my mouth not left, is that possible to only have them on one side?

We’ve never had a problem with her weight.She has been to a sleep study and had X-rays on her adnoids. She hes abnormally large tonsils and adnoids.She is set up for surgery I was just curious as to how common it is?
