I drink enough water. 2L a day so it’s not dehydration. U can literally see the excess saliva as well. Im just so confused
Hello 👋 Those at the back are tonsil stones. They are basically like plaques of bacteria that build up in the back of the mouth. Luckily there's nothing to worry about at this stage, they are harmless, a little annoying I know. They can make your breath smell a bit. I'd recommend just making sure your mouth hygiene is good, brush twice a day and floss every so often. Maybe a mouthwash. You can get these taken out by a dentist but that's just money.
Nothing to worry about! Unless they interfere with your daily life

Do they come out on their own? I tried fiddling with them but because they’re far back it makes me gag and it’s hard
They can fall out and be swallowed. Sometimes you don't even realise. I had them then the next day I didn't see them again and that was it. They are harmless!
As others have mentioned those are tonsil stones. They can appear after food gets trapped inside of the tonsil crypts and bacteria works on them. You are guaranteed to have bad breath if you have tonsil stones but you won't be able to smell it yourself. You can use a curved syringe with warm water to gently flush those out after each meal. Using a Waterpik / Waterfloss is also useful. Brushing with an electronic toothbrush with ozonated olive oil is also likely to help. Oil pulling for 20 minutes with the same ozonated olive oil after brushing should also improve your oral health.
Did you have any of those COVID shots?

Just to clarify. I mentioned the Waterpik in reference to flushing out the gums / teeth only.
You probably have an infection... Hypersalivation is a common response to an oral infection. Your tongue is a bit white and bumpy which indicates inflamed papillae. Your taste is off. You have white spots on your tonsil.

I don’t think so. It doesn’t hurt and my tongue isn’t inflamed think it’s the camera. I feel perfectly fine
Well take you pick… It’s either a viral/bacterial/fungal infection from something like strep throat/strptococcal pharyngitis, infectious mononucleosis, oropharyngeal candidiasis (oral thrush/yeast infection), peritonsillar abscesses, or tonsilloliths (tonsil stones) due to a sinus infection which produced postnasal drip… These would fit with the taste change, excess mucus production, and appearance of a white bumpy tongue from my vantage point. Or possibly they are cysts/papillomas/lipomas which could fit with the lack of pain and not feeling sick but not with the other stuff you mentioned. Beyond that, you are likely moving onto palatine cancer...
Agree. Tonsilloliths. No big deal. But you probably have some pretty gnarly breath to go along with it. Brush your teeth and gargle with mouthwash frequently.

That’s the thing, my breathe doesn’t stick that’s why I never noticed anything until I randomly decided to take a pic of my tongue and saw it
No. I didn’t notice until I randomly decided to take pictures bc of the salt taste and saliva. I thought let’s see the colour of my tongue but then saw those white stuff. First thought it was normal but apparently it isn’t. It doesn’t hurt either im so confused
U can try to poke then carefully with a cotton bud, feel if theyre soft or hard. They could be tonsil stones and usually they can fall out by themselves
Some people have those and it’s normal. A lump of calcified material in the tonsils, the fleshy pads at the back of the throat. The cause is unknown but oral bacteria may contribute to their formation. you're welcome by the way
