Hi, my problem started with white chunks from my mouth. And I started feeling lump like thing in my throat. After consulting ent doctor, she told that white chunks are "tonsil stones" and lump like feeling might be due to GERD. After taking medicine its reduced and it started again after few days. I use to feel something in my throat all the time. I don't feel any heart burn. Can any one please suggest what is the problem and whom to consult?

Your tonsils have deep crypts or pits where food particles like rice get trapped and they rot over time and get coated with salivary calcium forming the tonsilloliths! Solution: LASER assisted Tonsillar Ablation wherein about 2-3 mm of the surface of the tonsil is vaporized by the LASER making the pits shallow so food cannot be trapped anymore! I routinely do this surgery. Do drop in to my clinic for further management.
