What Does White Stuff On Throat Signify?
I get white stuff on my throat every now and then, I think their called stones. But my throat on the left side started to feel uncomfortable again and I decided to take a look and there is a black spot there. I cant tell what's going on. Should I be worried or will it fall out soon on it's own?

Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query.
The white or black stuff on the tonsil can be because of the tonsillolith or it can be because of the candidiasis. Nothing to worry. Consult an ENT surgeon and get it evaluated. If it is a candidal infection you can take topical antifungal agents like clotrimazole or nystatin. If it is a tonsillolith, then it has to surgically removed.
I hope i have answered your query. Take care.
