Kind of a gross tonsil problem...?

I have been coughing up this little yellowish white balls of hard puss that smell really bad if you squish them. A friend of mine told me that they come from your tonsils, but I am not sure. Does anyone know what these are and how I can get rid of them?Kind of a gross tonsil problem...?
they are known as Tonsil Stones.
Here is a link with Lots of info.
I have no idea what that is, but it sounds gross. Antibiotics and a trip to the ER..Good luck
They are called tonsilliths (or tonsil rocks) or something or rather. I have also had them called casein thingys (look like casein)
They are caused by a little pocket in your tonsil that gets food and stuff caught in it. I think some of it is dead bacteria too...but anyway they stink bad too.
I always get them when i am feeling a bit run down...
I don't think there is much you can do abotu them..i think its possible to get the tonsil resurfaced with a laser...but I don't tihnk its very common.
it's called a 'productive cough' when you cough up phlegm. if your pus/phlegm/mucus is anything but normal, then you have an infection.
especially if the pus has color or bad smell, it definitely means you have an infection. please see a doctor.
