hi
you are right.It doesnt seem to be related to the tonsills as its location is much behind the posterior tonsillar fold. It may be a calcified posterior pharyngeal lymph node. The calcific deposit is stuck up over the inflammed lymph node,this in turn causes accumulation of more debris . You should get the deposit removed and drain out the necrotic debris from a ent specialist.
Thanks
HI
ITS A TYPE OF FUNGAL INFECTION DUE TO POOR ORAL HYGIENE. SUCH WHITE SCAB LIKE THINGS USUALLY FALL OFF ON THEIR OWN AFTER A FEW DAYS FOLLOWED BY BLEEDING. WAIT FOR FEW DAYS FOR IT TO FALL OFF SPONTANEOUSLY. IF ITS BOTHERING YOU TOO MUCH,THEN GET IT REMOVED FROM A DOCTOR
hello there
it feels like a calcified oral boil /furuncle. If you have high calcium content in your body,or you have a tendancy for ectopic calcium deposition,then such lesions are common. You should not neglect it and get it removed from a ent specialist at the earliest
