Where does the yellow coating on the tonsils come from and how to get rid of it?
When there are doubts about the state of he alth, only a visit to the doctor can resolve them in a binding manner and for this reason it is worth consulting - in this case at the ENT specialist. Based on the description, it can be suspected that the choked lumps are formed in the so-called crypts - these are small depressions on the surface of the tonsils (slightly larger than usual in some people) where small particles of food eaten and the epithelium peel off, and then break down - which causes an unpleasant smell. Therefore, it is worth taking care of your oral hygiene very carefully, even rigorously - if possible, brush your teeth thoroughly after each meal, and rinse your throat with water with some disinfectant (there is a large selection without a prescription at any pharmacy, if not you can buy such a liquid, you can use lightly s alted water for rinsing). If brushing your teeth is impossible, it is a good idea to at least rinse your mouth. It is also important to visit the dentist regularly, treat cavities and remove tartar.
