What are Tonsil Stones
9. Foreign body sensation
An object that is found in our body but originates outside of it is known as a foreign body. Tonsilloliths are no foreign bodies, but sometimes they can protrude from the tonsils and produce a foreign body sensation in the back of the throat. This sensation may not always be present in people with tonsilloliths.
There are other causes of foreign body sensation in the throat, which include gastroesophageal reflux disease and upper esophageal dysmotility.
