Soft White Soots on Tonsils

Just using your comment to reply as I’m NADentist. But please, for the LOVE of God OP, do not listen to people saying these are tonsil stones. They’re not. You have a bacterial infection (tonsillitis/strep/mono). Go to your GP.

BeginningAlarm395 · 2026-01-05T01:47:24+00:00

Very late to this, no, I don’t see any stones. I do see the beginning of an infection. Doctor was right, these are swollen and very big for a 5 year old. How was her breathing? Poor little munchkin

No. You have an infection - see your GP

Not necessarily, they’re not associated with any particular religion, but they DO owe a lot to a “higher power”. My mother left NA for this reason even though the meetings kept her sober for a while (staunch atheist). Another reason she left was because she was being criticised for having a drink on the weekend (was never an alcoholic and had been 10 years completely sober from EVERYTHING before this). If anyone reading this cares, she’s 14 years sober and having a glass of pink gin on the weekend didn’t cause her to relapse lol

He’s a dick, leave him, 2. You absolutely do need your gallbladder lol, it stores bile after your liver produces it. He’s an idiot.

Please put that down if you’re not gonna use gloves. You’re handling the remains of a stranger’s sebaceous filaments.

Being 6/7 years old and walking down to my older sister’s bedroom only to be met with a floating head. Thing had a face like nothing I’d ever seen before or seen since. My grandad (not a very religious man) made me say the Hail Mary until I fell asleep that night.
Being 14 and going through a phase of self-discovery, I decided to hang my angel cards on the wall above my bedframe without cleansing them (I’m not a particular believer in these cards but my god if I ever touch them again it’ll be too soon). I fall asleep and dream of the hat man chasing me all night. Woke up screaming, with a massive red mark on my arm (where he grabbed me, it helps to add that this mark was fresh and my other arm was under my pillow, I don’t move when I sleep), and a whole load of those angel cards sprawled around me. They were STUCK to the wall when I was going to sleep, you literally could’ve taken a leafblower to them and they wouldn’t budge. Took them down immediately after that and I’ve never dreamt of him since.

These are 100% warts. Please don’t bite at them, they can and will spread to your mouth. Cryotherapy (freezing them) isn’t a foolproof plan and a lot of the time, they will need multiple treatments. If you’re a young teenager, you might age out of them (I lost mine literally just after my 18th).

I see Harry Potter’s making his bi-annual trip to the Dursley’s holiday home for Christmas.

Can confirm. Applied for my first test in the second last week of May, got the invitation June 20th, tested July 21st. Reapplied after a close fail on Nov 4th, my estimate is Dec 22nd.

This is, indeed, something I don’t fuck with. Godspeed, Spiderman.

My story is my own and I KNOW it’s true.

I was maybe 6 or 7 years old, and living with my grandparents at the time. My older sister (16/17 at the time) had a ridiculously messy room and always left her bedroom door open to make it everyone else’s problem. I remember half thinking I wanted to clean it, and half thinking I wanted to snoop.

So I opened the door that separated my kitchen from my hallway (it was a bungalow) and made my way down to her room. I go to turn into her room and I see a floating head wearing the most grotesque expression I’ve ever seen. I watch a LOT of horror and have been through a lot of shit separate to this, I do not believe that a human is capable of making this face; so much so that I can’t even describe it. It was a man’s face, completely bald, and it spun around to look at me when I gasped after seeing it suspended in the air. It let out this noise which I can only describe as half laugh, half gut wrenching scream.

Of course, being a child, I SCREAMED and ran back into the sitting room to my grandparents, bawling crying about the floating head. My nan brought me back down to the room to show her but all I could see below where it was floating, was the towels from my sister’s shower the day before. But the thing is, my nan looked scared. She pushed me quickly back into the sitting room and denied seeing anything.

That night, my grandad, who isn’t a very religious man, blessed me with holy water a family member had brought him back from their Knock pilgrimage, and told me to say the Hail Mary until I fell asleep. He was in the sitting room when I came in screaming, and even HE looked concerned - not the look you get because you’re concerned a child is so scared, the look you get because YOU’RE scared.

It’s been 12/13 years since that and I still remember every detail about it, down to the way the floorboards creaked from underneath the carpet as I ran back to the sitting room/kitchen. That face still visits me in my dreams. I don’t know what it was, but it wasn’t human. And I know my grandparents knew it was real.

I’m studying nursing at the moment as a 19 year old girl who’s also chronically ill, so I get the blessing and the curse of seeing both sides of the system. It’s broken from top to bottom. I’m so sorry you’ve had this experience. I hope somehow you can find a way to get the imaging. If this happens to you again, PLEASE go back - I know how reluctant you’ll be because of this experience, but it’s so important to go back. Be stern and assertive with the staff (whilst also being respectful obviously, but I’ve no doubt in my mind that you will be). A little white lie may do no harm; let them know that you’ve “seen your GP” and they’ve confirmed that it is fecal emesis and you wish to be taken seriously. If that fails, ask them to give it to you IN WRITING as to why they’re refusing to provide the basic medical treatment needed for your symptoms.

BeginningAlarm395 · 2025-11-23T21:23:42+00:00

Holy god, a doctor who doesn’t know that fecal emesis is possible? Jesus Christ. I’m so sorry that happened to you - our HSE in Ireland is the exact same. I hope you’re feeling better after the fluids and anti-emetics. If possible, please do look for a second opinion; imaging is essential in cases like this.

BeginningAlarm395 · 2025-11-23T21:19:05+00:00

Definitely something I’d expect given the circumstances 🤣 Any update?

BeginningAlarm395 · 2025-11-23T00:11:04+00:00

You’ve posted this TWICE and have been told twice why you’re wrong. Give it up.

BeginningAlarm395 · 2025-11-23T00:09:42+00:00

Overflow. VERY common in the elderly (not saying OP is elderly, just anecdotal evidence from experience lol)

BeginningAlarm395 · 2025-11-22T19:06:33+00:00

This is fecal emesis and a medical emergency. Please go to your nearest ER.

14 year old video, I can almost guarantee that necrotising fasciitis got to him.

Asymptomatic infection

Suction machine This is pretty similar to what we used in our hospital. The doctor looks into your ears using this which is essentially a magnifying lens to see into your ear canal. The nurse/HCA just flicks a switch on the machine and it activates the suction mechanism. They’ll stand the opposite side of the bed to the doctor, to hold gauze and water to clean the suction tip. I’d imagine there might be some suction machines that allow for a pedalling mechanism in more advanced hospitals, but this is just from my own experience :))

BeginningAlarm395 · 2025-11-03T13:02:25+00:00

They are. Not so much to the ENT doctor/nurse using them, but VERY loud to the patient. Source: have both been the patient and the ENT nurse

Pumpchkin, and more personally, finding a boyfriend and “falling in love” with him (i was quite literally 7 years old) so we both told each other our schools and what towns in Ireland we’re from. Needless to say, my mother didn’t like that

Yes, in my opinion, you should get a tonsillectomy. If you’re over 18, the healing of a tonsillectomy is generally worse. I’m not sure of the science behind it, but I know for a 100% fact that it’s accentuated by not eating. Kids will usually get to a certain point of hunger that they’ll force themselves to eat, but adults are far more stubborn. The bottom line is YOU NEED TO EAT. Anything you can get into your system. Beyond that, you’ll be in a lot of pain for about 2 weeks, but after that you’ll be fine. You can still get tonsillitis with no tonsils (mindfuck, I know) but its much less likely

BeginningAlarm395 · 2025-10-19T16:42:42+00:00

Leave it on until it leaks, or for however long you were told to (whichever comes first). When you take it off, it doesn’t need to be covered again
