I've been sort of half following this discussion but it was only after you wrote about coughing them up that prompted me to chip in. Our son used to cough up fairly small white hard things in his late teens and we never knew what the heck they were. Is that right what you are saying they are? Even though he never had any infected tonsils or anything, well not that we ever knew of anyway. Truth be known I never considered looking in his throat back then. I must remember to ask him when next we meet if he has ever had them again since his teen years.
I know gargling and ingesting EIS clears up those white 'lesions' or ulcer looking things on tonsils - tonsillitis - as I administered some to our adult daughter and it cleared up overnight. I only had to look at her tonsils to see it was tonsillitis, never did develop into a sore throat which amazed her doctor. Of course for obvious reasons she didn't tell the doctor what she had taken, nudge nudge wink wink say n'more. N.

A few times I poked them out, and remember one time there was some blood behind it in the crypt, which makes me wonder whether the blood was dumping garbage there. Gargling would surely be a good idea, and perhaps help dislodge them so they can be spat out. R
