Halitosis

The tonsils are two pink masses the size of a thumb, located on either side of the throat wall. It is responsible for producing antibodies, and fighting bacteria that invade through the food and airways. The structure of the tonsils consists of many small cavities and especially there are irregular concave structures. This is a favorable condition for food to be trapped. These foods in the process of deposition will form agglomerate compounds. Depending on the eating habits, oral hygiene, and the condition of the disease, if any, tonsil stones will form in the number and size of the tonsils as well as at different locations of the tonsils.

Because of this location, the tonsils are very susceptible to inflammation. In the case of inflammation, if you open your mouth to look in the mirror, you can see white dots of pus on the surface of the tonsils. Because these are chronic localized inflammations, you may not experience a fever or sore throat. Long-term pus in the cavity of the tonsils clumps into a cocoon and then, due to the action of the throat muscles when swallowing, pops out and disappears. If there are many inflammatory niches or long-term inflammation is the cause of bad breath.
