Post by: txmx on May 07, 2004, 03:41:08 PM
Does anyone know what that yellow crud that gets stuck in your tonsils is?

Man I have had a sore thoat for tjhe last few days and I hacked up this odd looking thing that was yellow and kinga looked like grey matter LOL.

But it came from my tonsils.

I know yellow  means infection  but this stuff is nasty.

It's not really the product of an infection. I don't know the english word but I think that it is normally secreted by your tonsils when they are agressed.


Anyway, it's a symptom that your system is fighting bacteria/microbs/viruses, quite frequent and not alarming.

BARF! Dude, get to a Doctor. You have tonsilitis and they are not draining. That's dried up puss and scab.

I repeat... BARFFFFFFFFFFFFF!

Talking about yellow crud makes me wonder:

I have been suffering from severe abdominal cramps and pain and sometimes have bloody diarrhea. Every once in a while I have a severe urgency to have a bowel movement.  I have had a persistent fever, and have lost my appetite, so I have lost a lot of weight.  I feel worn out; tired all the time, and my wife thinks I look anemic.

Aah, prob’ly nothin’.

Simple, too much fiber in your diet. Eat LOTS of rare red meat and cheese.

if you smoke, eat alot of spicy food, and drink alot of soda it could be pockets that are forming in your esophagus. a friend of mine had this.

what happened is the soda and smoking wore out spots in his throat. he would regularly eat a snack just before bed too. ths doctor told him that that food wasnt getting fully "swallowed" and catching in these "pockets". it would then congeal or something, and he would cough out these yellowish foul smelling and tasting bits.

they were particles of things like ground beef that had been sticking in his throat for a week and finally getting forced out.


he's on treatment for the holes and has to take some super antacid. he also can not eat anything "hot" tempature or spice. no soda, no smoking, no beer, and foods like ground beef with small hunks has to be avoided.

I avoid spicy food at all cost.
And I have to take nexium anyways.
But I do smoke although im down to around 5 cigs a day.

Trying really hard to stop doing the zyban thing and it really helps too.

It's probably a Strep infection.  Although that exceedingly gross picture put out by McGroin can happen in extreme conditions (the Flesh eating bacteria is a strain of the Streptococcus bacteria) most of the time you just get a really sore throat.  If there is exudate (there's your term folks) then you probably have a full blown strep infection.  Get to a doctor and get some Trimox or some Penicillin, you generally will feel much better after about 12 hours once you start taking antibiotics.

Thing to note, the most dangerous part of the infection is not the 'flesh eating' bacteria part, that is a rare strain of the bacteria.  The most dangerous part of ignoring this is the possibility of the bacteria colonizing your heart valves.  Many people with heart murmurs have had a history of strep infections, especially those that didn't get it treated.  

Most people have heard of Scarlet Fever, a killer back in the days before antibiotics.  Scarlet Fever is a progression of the strep infection.  

Don't sit on it, there is a quick test that will tell if it is strep (involves a q-tip and your throat) and you will find out right away.
