i’ve had this problem since i was about 13 and in the past year its gotten extremely bad. it seems like i get it all the time and it takes forever for them to come out. i can’t brush them out, i can’t cough them out, and i can’t pop them out with a q-tip. i have to wait for them to work themselves out far enough for me to feel them with my finger and scrape them out. (sorry to be gross)

at times i can even tell what food got stuck. once agtain i hate to be so gross but on monday afternoon i had a mcdonalds cheese burger and i’m pretty sure a little piece of onion got stuck AND IS STILL THERE i can actually smell an onion smell and it stings a lot when i swallow. and today i think tiny piece of mac n cheese got stuck in there.
my throat constantly hurts and i can feel the stuff in there. sometimes i feel like i can’t breath very well and i feel a pressure almost in my nose like its gonna fly out of of my nose.

has anyone else gotten this?
how do you cope with it?
what type of dr should i go to? when i mentioned it to my regular dr she had no clue what i was talking about.
do you think a dr would suggest a tonsillectomy to cure this? or do i just have to live with it the rest of my life.

i hate to have an operation especially cuz i just had a surgery for another problem this past monday. but i really want this to go away so i’m not constantly feeling crappy.
