throat

 :traurig001:for the last week I have noticed like clear pus pockets going doown the back of my throat and also one tonsil is bigger than the other. Anyone had this or know what the heck it is?

Ok. Everyone is reading my post but no one is replying...not good I guess...does this mean that its not common??

Not a doctor, but it cold be sinus drainage, allergies, or a virus/cold of some sort.

Tonsil stones maybe?  It's kind of hard to wager a guess when we can't see you :)  But I can't think of any life-threatening problem that results in these things.  If your throat is bothering you, see your doctor in case antibiotics are needed.  If it's just weird-looking, you can probably ignore it.

Sounds like post nasal drip to me...but I am not an expert. If it was truly a "pus pocket" I would think there would be some pain with it. Regarding the tonsil...my left one has been bigger than my right one for 42 years...I got the mumps when i was ten and it never got smaller.

I do have post nasal drip really bad. And aa little bit of a cough. I also get hoarse really easily. So this doesn't sound like throat cancer?? I am to scared to look up what it looks like.

It just sounds like a sore throat bug or sinus infection to me.

Thanks everyone.

My dad had throat cancer.  This does not sound like that at all.

[ashleyspicer84]

They look like blisters full of water. If that gives you
 a better idea. Good to hear that it doesn't sound like cancer though.

Throat cancer is a big solid tumor.  And I highly doubt you'd be able to see throat cancer by looking in your mouth in the mirror, though I don't know that for a fact - they needed a scope to look at my dad's.
